I've used Logmein hamachi for years without problems. Usually I use ti to spoof a LAN connection, so i can play Minecraft in "lan" mode with a friend.
Recently it hasn't worked. Everything looks fine, I can join my friend's network and he can join mine, I hover over his name and it says "direct tunnel" and his name bubble thing is green with wobbles either side of it as usual. but when I right click and select ping: Request timed out. Over and over.
I've been looking around on here and there are many of these threads. This one seems to be the most answered: /t5/Hamachi/Ping-Request-Timed-out/td-p/121480
The network engineer on there (post #4) said to "Delete the default gateway", but how exactly do you do this?
I also tried setting my metric as he recommended and it also didn't work.
I tried installign a different VPN thing (Evolve), which also isn't working, so unsurprisingly when I reinstalled hamachi and rebooted my PC it still didn't work.
I tried going to Windows Firewall with Advanced Security and dding ibound and Outboudn Rules for hamachi to allow it to connect and it still doesn't work.
What other magix network tat can I try? This might be broken due to either windows update or due to having a new ISP. Either way I'd appreciate some advice, as I've been at this for hours now.
