Re: Hamachi

Re: Hamachi
It creates a virtual lan so we can play in a co-op game together. This way WE host the game, but its not really online.
someone pls help....Comment

Re: Hamachi
Cant you do that through co-op in the multiplayer section? Create a server, put a password on it and have your buddy join to your IP.Comment

Re: Hamachi
Well I dont have an unranked server I can do this on and Im being cheap about it.Comment

Re: Hamachi
Host it on your own comp. Just go to multiplayer\create local and through the drop down on the left where it says conquest, change that to coop and it will give you server option where you can password it and customize your game. Then have your friend connect to your ip number. You dont actually need a server to do this.Comment

Re: Hamachi
But you need Hamachi, otherwise your friend wont be on the network. OH I should mention that me and him are not on the same LAN or even the same house, thus the need for Hamachi.Comment

Re: Hamachi
He should still be able to connect through the connect to ip function. Just give him your ip. It should work for you, if not, sorry i wasted your time.Comment

Re: Hamachi

I have set up tons of COOP games over the internet with nothing special required.Comment

Re: Hamachi
So if the IP starts with 192, I will be able to connect anyway or do I have to get his internet ip?Comment

Re: Hamachi
Well, only the 192.168.x.x is private class, the rest of the 192.x.x.x is public.Originally posted by Sir. Blades
You have to use the public side IP address to connect to each other. Thats why the other poster sent you to whatsmyipaddress, so that you will know what IP to connect to.
If your friend is hosting the co-op game, then you need his public IP. If he is behind a gateway router, then he will need to forward the ports from the public side to his server, that way you can connect to him.
So far, others have given you all the info you need, you just need to understand what they are saying.Comment

Re: Hamachi
I got it working. The person who hosts the game has to also host Hamachi. It does the port forwarding for you. Just had a good run tking the **** out of the bots in Gulf.Comment

Re: Hamachi
Yes, Hamachi is a nice tool..but it is NOT necessary to play BF2.
192.168.XX.XX is your INTERNAL LAN address.
You need to give your friend your EXTERNAL WAN address.
