Hi guys, having issues

When I start Hamachi, it says it cannot find the Hamachi Network Adaptor, and suggests reading the forums at forums.hamachi.cc, it is fully allowed through zonealarm, and I havent fiddled with it since I last MPed

When I click on the link Firefox3 won't accept the site because it doesn't have a security certificate

Any idea what's going on? (no its not the ghost of Windows firewall haunting me)

[Fast Eddie]

Has your trial version of Hamachi expired since you last MP'd?

Mine has. Earlier today I got a message saying I wasn't pinging very well with Kyrandia, but I never followed it up to any extent. Not sure if the expiry prevents or limits connectivity (for our purposes 'MP'), and I won't be until I can test it with someone.

Sorry I can't help more.

Ive had this happen and it was because i had a it installed ona different drive than my windows drive (C when i formatted and re-installed windows, i thought i would work right out of the box - nope, had to delete it all (hamachi stuff) and re-install, heres a link to the direct download


Hamachi 1.0.3

[lionheartthebrave]

CoT: it's on the C drive. and worked before with this setup

So this means every time the trial runs out I have to reinstall and get a new Hamachi IP/invitation to the network?

[Fast Eddie]

Well CoT et moi just played some MP over Hamachi, and this is after my trial ran out: For three hours in the early afternoon it worked fine, and as soon as it hit evening our lag hit mountainous proportions.

Devastating.

If more happens I will report here, but that's all I have for now.

[lionheartthebrave]

I reinstalled the Hamachi program, and now i can access the network

Thanks to those you offered advice, guess it corrupted somehow

EDIT: what does that flashing green star by your name mean FE?

EDIT2: you are now unreachable FE

[Kyrandia]

This unreachable thing puzzles me too. Sometimes it helps to simply restart hamachi, sometimes it doesn't.

[Fast Eddie]

To be honest even as the host of the network I don't know that much about the program. You may be better off asking Cheese On Toast, but as he is very hard to get hold of, PMing him may have a batter success rate than simply posting here.

Recently as I stated, my trial licence expired and I've only had very limited MP since. I've also had strange interwebs troubles. I "lost" the internet for 24 hours and everything in my limited repetoire could not get it back until it magically reappeared.

It may have been BT temp-banning me for trying to download 20 films and 50 albums at once, but dammit I needed them!

[/rant]

I suggest the best anyone can do is just post updates, ideas and suggestions. I doubt anyone will purchase the full version of Hamchi just to MP on an eight year old game, so I'm as lost as some of you.

I don't think that is necessary. Hamachi is free for non-commercial use. I too got the "license expired" message at some point, but I simply downloaded a new version and it has been working fine ever since. (It also says "Non-Commercial License" now when I move the mouse over the blue star at the top right of the window.)

Have you tried redownloading/reinstalling?
