Hamachi allows you to create a LAN connection online. I was gonna use it on BF2 with some mates, but when I search for games none are listed, apparently because my normal IP overlaps the Hamachi one. In order to see these lan games online, I need hamachi to be the dominating IP, and there's a way to promote it over your regular IP. However, when I do that, I lose my internet connection, which is required to run hamachi - dilemma.

Now, on Vista you're able to promote your Hamachi IP without loss of internet. How do I make this apply for XP as well?

who would die of starvation faster, a fat guy or a skinny guy? (they are both exactly the same except the other dude has more fat)

I need a simple MP3/Flac conversion program, light and freeware (with good quality output on FLAC > MP3 conversion, adjustable mp3 quality would be nice too)

I use this for small things like just doing one or two songs.

@ echo
Try this:

On the Advanced menu, click Advanced Settings, and then click the Adapters and Bindings tab.

Move Hamachi to the top to select it as the primary adapter
In the Connections area, select the Hamachi connection that you want to move higher in the list. Use the arrow buttons to move the connection to the top.

It works for me without loosing the internet conenction.
And make sure that you and your friends are connected all to the same network.

This is what turns on my internet connection. Are you on Vista or XP?

No converter in there, but (after much scratching around) it did have a link to what I wanted (hidden in a sizable list of irrelevant freeware)

So thanks

=\
Depends how do you do it.
For me, i just open an file and "extract" it.

@ echo- Xp, but i have some friends running it on vista.

Hmm... I have XP, and it completely shuts off my connection when I promote hamachi such as you described. Anything else you're doing?

croat1gamer · « **Reply #529 on:** May 04, 2009, 10:34:44 am »

Well, i was following this
http://logmeinwiki.com/wiki/Hamachi:Red_Alert_2

Try asking for it on the hamachi forums if you dont make it.

Aight, thanks.

Ello!
I read through the FAQ, but couldn't locate an answer for my problem. The problem is I don't really know much about this stuff, so it may just be written in fancy programming words, and I missed it. If that's the case, please redirect me to the related topic.

Anyway, I've been trying to play BF2 with a couple of mates, two of which run Vista and the rest of us XP. We wanted to establish a LAN connection online, hence the use of Hamachi. This is where the problems began to show. It seems my windows(XP) will only recognize my hamachi IP if I promote it over my regular IP. However, when I do that(and after rebooting) I seem to lose all internet connection, rendering the very idea of Hamachi obsolete in the first place. The wierd thing is, with Windows Vista promoting the Hamachi IP does not seem to cut off the internet connection.

So, I asked about it on this other forum I attend to, and this one bloke said he got it to work on XP, just by promoting the Hamachi IP. he couldn't say if He'd done anything different though. So what to do, I looked it up on wiki.

I thought maybe it was cause I didn't install the client protocol, as portrayed in point 6 and 7. However, when I click it, it says I lack the drivers for the install.

So I'm sadly stuck with it. I was hoping one of you lads may know how to fix this.
Thanks in advance,
echo

Does this tell you anything, croat?

? guysssssssss

PQ · « **Reply #534 on:** May 06, 2009, 07:37:06 am »

The fat one would have more fat to burn. So I can't see why it would be the skinny guy.

croat1gamer · « **Reply #535 on:** May 06, 2009, 10:05:16 am »

Depends on their body water usage.

PANZERCATWAGON · « **Reply #536 on:** May 06, 2009, 10:11:23 am »

if they could die of nothing other than starvation then the skinny guy would die first 99% of the time

Hair|Trigger · « **Reply #537 on:** May 08, 2009, 09:29:51 pm »

I decided I would pull out my good ol' kickass stereo and crank some music on it, probelm is all my music was on the computer.

I burnt an album onto a cheap blank CD (TDK 80 Compact disc, album was downloaded) but the stereo didn't play it it just says "no disc" and skips to the next CD, the audio on the CD was MP3 @ 320kbps (the stereo reads MP3 files) The CD is readable by computers though

Ideas?

m00` · « **Reply #538 on:** May 08, 2009, 09:31:11 pm »

who would die faster of starvation a muscley guy or a fat guy

UnknownSniper · « **Reply #539 on:** May 08, 2009, 09:39:52 pm »

A "muscled" guy would break the fat guy's neck and roast him like a pig. So the fat one would die faster..
