How to setup Heroes III over Hamachi network?
Hello friends.
I have a LAN wtih 3 computers at home and want to play Heroes 3 with my kids but I'm getting in trouble.
My networks uses a linksys WRT54G and I installed hamachi latest version on each computer.
WHe I start a game and create a host in the game, I see that the game is not connecting thru the hamachi IP and is showing the local machine IP.
The other computers are also displaying their local IP instead of hamachi ones.
COmputers are not able to "see" each other so we cannot start a game.
Could anyone help me to solve the problem?
Thanks!

Hi.
I installed hamachi because I'm not able to use our IP's.
All computers use the 192.168.1.x ip's, they can ping each other, their firewalls are turned off, but they cannot start the game over the lan. Weird...

Hi. Thanks you for helping.
I think the problem is with the game cd key as you said. Other games are working fine, so I will give up. If you have any solution for this issue other than buing multiple cd keys, please send me a message.
Thanks!

There certainly are ways around it and there are sites where you can get CD keys, but I'm obviously not willing to provide any links here. For what it's worth, if you enjoy the game that much you really should buy two more copies. As I write this, the game is $14.95 on Amazon, assuming that you're talking about "Heroes of Might and Magic III".

Ok thanks!
Initailly check the network connectivity
- Have you a valid ip address?
- Can you ping the other hosts?
