Hamachi Help

[StingRay200]

If i am using Hamachi to create my ip, does that mean that anyone who wants to play will have to get Hamachi?

Ehm… the IP adress (wich the outside world can reach you on) is provided to you (or to the mainrouter if on a network) by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). You can check it by, for example: http://www.whatismyip.com/

If you are using software for local ip distribution within your own network i suggest you check the manual/f.a.q. that your software provides. Also have a look into the tutorialsection ;)

Yeah, I tried going to that website AND ipchicken and putting it into config in the game client but it says offline on my friends computer AND on mine.
Any Help?
The ip on the server says something completely different!

Internet <–---|public ip|---------> [ROUTER] <–---|local ip|--------> [YOUR PC/SERVER]

Others need the public IP to connect to your router.
Your router gives a local IP to your PC (and to other pc's in the network)

Since the Eclipse server is located on the PC and not on the Router (duh) you probably need to set up a thing called portforwarding.

What is portforwarding (in nutshel):
- A package that arives at a certain port on the router (from the outside) is send to a specific pc on a local network (as your pc). Seems easy, and thats right, it is.

What can be a problem? Your router: since most routers use specific software it can be a bit tricky to set up portforwarding. Just take a look in the tutorialsection on the forum. There is enough info on portforwarding.
