How well does Hamachi work if the various computers are all behind NAT firewalls?

hi leo i think ure forum its a good way to learn about this vpn stuff im just writing cuz i wanna now if theres a place on the net where i can find some ip addresses cuz im interested in share my files with somebody and to play some games but i dont know maybe u can tell me thanks

After reading your article I found Hamachi to be just what I had been looking for to tighten up my remote desktop security. I am not a techy but found Hamachi simple to set up. I had my VPN up and running in less than 10 minutes

I first heard about Hamachi from "the other Leo", Leo Laporte of Call for Help TV show. Found your podcast and you convinced me to try it.

Hamachi is excellent for running VNC remote access and for sharing iTunes audio libraries easily. You just point VNC at your Hamachi IP and it connects you up. No crazy configuring to get it to use the correct adapter, its all automatic. And iTunes is even easier. Just tick the boxes to share your libraries, and to look for shared libraries.

Now no matter where I am or how I access the internet, I have my music streamed over the net, and can login to my home machine and control it - all for free. Is this a great country or what?

great program as is logmein free version. I am using hamachi in conjuction with logmein free version to Share folders, monitor clients, instant message clients, one feature that i like is the securty, you can share folders over the net without having to share them over a local lan at the same time. The only problem I am having with it is the printer sharing. But it is just a matter of time before I figure that out.

hey thanks for your time,

was wondering how to get hamachi to work with rome total war game. someone told me i had to put the hamachi ip address in the preference file for rtw but not sure where or how and information???

I may be misunderstanding the capability and purpose of Hamachi and other similiar applications. I originally was googling remote desktop viewing and found you article and podcast.

I have a friend in the Philippines and we thought it would be fun to be able to watch a movie together. I had assumed that aps like GoToMyPC would allow us to play a movie or music on one computer and watch and listen on both.

Is this beyond the capability of Hamachi? So far all I have been able to do is to chat much like an instant message service.

Thanks for the help.
