Hi zekekee,

I have not used Hamachi in 10 years, or if it still works on modern systems. but most issues when connecting is related to firewall or antivirus.

one other thing to check would be the registries for directplay

regisrty entries
64 bit systems
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\DirectPlay\Applications

32 bit systems
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectPlay\Applications

if they are not present no connection can be made.

Most users have been using Gameranger lately.
