Posts from When playing online, I don’t see any servers. Auto-translated

We tried playing with a friend through Hamachi. We connect normally, and if I create the game, we can play normally because I am the server, and he selects my server from the list. But if he creates the game, I can't see it, and it never appears in the list, no matter how long we wait. The same thing happens in Heroes 3. Could it be an OS issue? (I have Vista). Maybe some settings need to be adjusted? I'm waiting for answers. :smile43:

try doing the following:

Go to "Network connections". In the main menu, go to the "Advanced" submenu and look for the "Advanced settings" item. In the list of network adapters, move Hamachi to the very top.

I've seen this operation before, but in Windows Vista, everything is different... I couldn't find that option.

Control Panel - Network Connections. Press Alt and an additional option will appear.

There is no such thing in the Control Panel... There is "Network and Sharing Center". Pressing Alt does not reveal such an item...
Next, in: Start - Connect, the Alt key does not open the browser panel...

Well, on Windows XP, it looks like this: Go to Start – Control Panel – Network Connections. Go to the Advanced menu and select Additional Parameters. And move the Hamachi adapter to the very top. I don't know how to do this on Vista, but I think it shouldn't be more complicated.

P.S. If the problem is that you can't find network connections, click Start, then you'll see Network Neighborhood – hover over it and right-click to select Properties. Then follow the instructions as described here.

click start, there you'll find the network environment

I conclude that you haven't seen Vista;... there's no network environment there... Conclusion: install XP and don't worry:...
Nazg, speak up, maybe you're more observant than me...

Seriously, can’t you find the network environment on Vista and connect to network connections?

In Vista, there's a way to prioritize Hamachi, although it took me about five tries to figure it out. I spent 10 minutes looking for "Network connections" or something similar. I found it, but I can't remember where.
But the point is, there are still some players with whom I can't host games! I can host with some, but not with others.
You can try doing it through a third person or by loading a saved game. The effect isn't guaranteed, but it has helped some people.

By the way, if anyone solves the yellow color problem in Hamachi, please write it down somewhere so it's easy to find. Regardless of the game version, you can post it in the online section for the second game if someone can solve this issue. Then create a new topic and name it "Solution to the yellow color problem in Hamachi." This problem is quite common, and in the Russian-speaking internet, there's only the question being asked, but no solution has been found.

qwerty, the solution is simpler than you think – switch to pLan – there’s an archive with installation instructions in the useful links section – I played through it a couple of days ago when the Hammers of Fate server was overloaded. But what’s the actual problem? Can you tell me? A player turns yellow when there’s no connection… at least, that’s my opinion. I’ve seen people turn yellow even after they’ve restarted their computers.

The player's icon flashes green several times, then turns yellow. There is no ping. Sometimes, repeatedly restarting the game might help, but not always. At the same time, both players can connect to other players in the same Hamachi network. This issue has been raised on both the forums and the portal, but there is no known solution.
Thank you for the advice about pLan - I will try it if the opportunity arises. By the way, can you have both Hamachi and pLan installed on the same computer? And can you run both at the same time?

Actually, what's the problem? Can you tell us? The player turns yellow when there's no connection.

Shadar and I constantly encounter this problem... And, as I understand it, this yellow color appears due to the low speed of the modem... For example:
We have relatively low speeds. And the yellow color flashes almost always.
But, for example, when connecting with Vaishan, the yellow color never appeared; the light turns green in a couple of seconds.
The only solution (we and Shadar thought about it and came up with it, maybe we're wrong...), is to either buy a new modem or download an internet accelerator from the web... But the problem is that it's almost impossible to find free accelerators.

Sincerely.

I don't know how to do it on Vista, but I think it's not more complicated.

You're right, Evgeny - it's even easier in Vista, although it's a bit clunky.
Step 1: Go to the Network and Sharing Center.
Step 2: In the Tasks column, click on Manage network connections.
Step 3: Click on the Advanced menu item.
Step 4: A drop-down menu will appear; click on Advanced settings.
Step 5: In the Connections window that appears, select Hamachi.
Step 6: If Hamachi is not the first in the list, a button with a green upward arrow will be available. Click it until it becomes unavailable. This means you have reached your goal. :)
I hope this helps someone - I don't know how to write it in more detail. :)

Thanks for the advice about pLan – I’ll try it when I get the chance. By the way, can you have both Hamachi and pLan on one computer? And can you run them simultaneously?

Of course, you can. Unless you have a dial-up connection – I think one program will significantly interfere with the other in terms of resource consumption and internet speed. P.S. When we played through pLan, I saw “Sila” and many others from Battle.net online, so there’s already a workaround for Battle.net.
