Well, I've been trying to play warcraft 3 with my friend using hamachi. So we downloaded hamachi, installed it and I joined his network, but for some reason I can see him on the hamachi network, but when I open Warcraft 3 I can't see him. However, there was one time when I was able to see his game for just 1 second and it dissapeared before I could get to it. (I've also done that advanced network settings thing where you move Hamachi to the top.) So can anyone help?

Does warcraft 3 have a direct connect to Ip? If so use that. Just put in his IP as shown in the hamachi network.

In neverwinter nights, whenever my friend hosts a server we don't see it in the lan list until we try to direct connect.

Not that I know of, and I'm pretty sure warcraft 3 doesn't have it, but I'll check right now

Edit: I just checked, and I don't see any manual update of any sort

Make sure you can ping him, you can do that by right clicking on his name and doing so. You have to join his game via LAN in wc3. If that doesn't work, you try to host and see if he can join.

You both need to disable all of your firewalls, including the Windows firewall. If you have a router than someone needs to set up some port-forwarding or DMZ.

I've tried pinging him and it comes with "reply" and some moer information so I assume that it works. We've both tried hosting and we can't get it to work

Did you do what the poster above you said? because that may be the problem. If all else fails, google is your friend.

We've both disabled our firewalls, but how do you set up port-forwarding and dmz on the router
