Solution #1:(For those who live in the same city. This method is very interesting because you won't have to spend money on the Internet!)
Step 1 - Create a connection. (perhaps the most difficult step)
For the server: Go to the control panel, then network connections. Create a new connection => set up a direct connection to another computer => accept incoming connections => (here select your modem, checking its settings) => allow virtual private connections => create a new user, check the box (for example, username – 1, password 1 ), disable everything else => check all boxes, go to the properties of "Internet Protocol", check the box next to "specify TCP/IP addresses explicitly," enter 169.254.0.1 in the "From" field, and 169.254.0.2 in the "To" field; the number two should appear in the total field, and now check the bottom box. That’s it for the server.
For the client: Create a connection (as if connecting to the internet), use the same password and username as the server (remember, mine are 1 and 1 ), and enter the server's phone number.
Step 2: Connect.
Now, the client needs to connect to the server through the created connection. After two computers appear in the taskbar, open Heroes.
Step 3:
For the server: Go into multiplayer mode, then select tcp/ip, press Host, enter your name and password (but don't forget to tell the client). Wait for the client.
For the client: Go into multiplayer mode, then select tcp/ip, press Find Host (enter the server's IP address 169.254.0.1 or 169.254.0.2 there), and that's it – you can start playing.
You can also do this even if you live in different cities (then skip step one); everything else is done the same way, only the client enters the server's IP address and password (which he must of course provide)...
Solution #2:(universal solution)
For the server. Immediately go into the game, go into multiplayer mode, then select "modem" (it’s below the TCP/IP game), then "host," and wait.
For the client: At the same time, immediately go into the game, go into multiplayer mode, then select "modem" (it’s below the TCP/IP game), press connect, enter the server's phone number, and that's it!
For the server, when the client starts calling, press answer. That's it; you can play.
This method has a drawback in that the established connection may be very poor, and you will often be kicked out of the game (although this depends on your telephone exchange), so save more often!

Solution #5: (playing using the Wippien program)
The program is a worthy alternative to Hamachi and can be considered a more convenient option.
You can download the program here (1.97MB).
After installing the program, all players need to create an account within the program itself; after that, each player must add everyone else to their contact list. Once created, this account can also be used later after reinstalling the program. The IP addresses of each participant are displayed in the contacts window of the program.After that, you can enter the game and play as if it were a regular local network.
