Why do you need that external IP that Heroes shows when you connect to TSP/IP? You need to enter the one that's in Hamachi! And yes, disable the Windows firewall, antivirus, antivirus firewall, and antivirus filters in the network properties...
You probably didn't understand what I'm talking about. Let me explain again:



The firewall has been disabled for a long time, and there are exceptions for Hamachi, Heroes, and all the other stuff that is usually used for the game, just in case.



When you launch Heroes3.exe and select "Multiplayer" -> TCP/IP, the external IP is displayed at the top if a VPN is enabled. When you try to connect using the Hamachi IP (search for a game -> enter the IP), it says that the IP address was not found. At the same time, the person can ping me in Hamachi.



If you launch the game with "internet disabled," i.e., by disconnecting from the VPN, Heroes displays the internal Hamachi IP, i.e., the virtual network. After connecting to the internet (without restarting Heroes), the situation doesn't change - the person cannot connect to me. Pings in Hamachi are working.

The problem is also that the person we are trying to play with is not very tech-savvy, so I have no idea how or if anything is configured on their end. But pings in Hamachi are working.

Maybe someone will be kind enough to test this with me? Maybe the problem is not on my end, but on the other player's end, and I'm just wasting my time.
