I'm trying to get Hamachi to work on a friend's really awesome computer so it can act as a server for Minecraft. When he and I had set it up, we were originally on LAN through his house. It seemed to work fine there, but I noticed when I went home and when he went up north that neither one of us were able to communicate with the server. It still showed up as "Working" on hamatchi (green dot was there) but when I went to ping it I kept getting no response. I could ping my friend, however. Any ideas whats causing this?

Why not just forward the ports need for Minecraft and use a whitelist only server? Using Hamachi when it's not needed is often more work than the worth. – MBraedley Sep 22 '11 at 19:37

Try updating the order of your network cards on both machines - the Hamatchi interface needs to be at the top of the list.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894564 Specifically see the section titled "How to change the binding order of network adapters".

This worked for another 'lan only' game I was experimenting with. Failing that you will likely need to look at the windows firewall settings, again on both ends of the tunnel.
