Hello!
A lot of people have issues with the latest version of Hamachi not being able to see games in Starcraft. This is due to the way Starcraft broadcasts games, it uses the IP from the first network adapter it finds and the latest version of Hamachi no longer automatically translates the IP.
----------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE (Feb 2013)
----------------------------------------------------------
There is now a much easier way to use this. You need Chaoslauncher or BWLauncher and the ForceHamachi plugin from http://r-1.ch/forcehamachi-1.2.zip. Then just enable the plugin and you're set! Updated to work with new Hamachi IPs beginning with 25.x.x.x.
----------------------------------------------------------
Old instructions follow if you don't want to use a launcher.
+ Show Spoiler +I made a program called ForceBindIP which allows you to force an application (in this case, Starcraft) onto a specific IP address (in this case, your Hamachi IP). Here's how to use it: 1. Download and install ForceBindIP using the installer: http://www.r1ch.net/stuff/forcebindip/ ( direct download link) 2. Run Hamachi and take note of your Hamachi IP: ![[image loading]](http://r-1.ch/hamachi2.png) 3. Create a new shortcut to Starcraft.exe: ![[image loading]](http://r-1.ch/hamachi1.png) 4. Place "ForceBindIP 5.x.x.x" before the path to Starcraft.exe, where 5.x.x.x is your Hamachi IP: ![[image loading]](http://r-1.ch/hamachi3.png) (NOTE: Replace the 5.124.181.52 with YOUR Hamachi IP from Step 2) 5. Give it a descriptive name. This shortcut will NOT be able to play regular Battle.Net or UDP games, it will only work over Hamachi. ![[image loading]](http://r-1.ch/hamachi4.png) That's it! Use the new shortcut when playing on Hamachi and it will ensure your Starcraft is set to use the Hamachi interface and everything should work fine.

I am not 100% positive here, put can you not just reprioritize your network adapters so Hamachi *is* the first one?
Quote from Hamachi:
# Some games are not intelligent when it comes to having more than one network adapter, and you may need to re-prioritize your network adapter order. Go into Network Connections > Advanced > Advanced Settings > and put the Hamachi adapter at the top of the list.
At least this worked for me so far.
Other than that, great work once again R1CH, way to help the community.

The downside to this is any LAN traffic will then also try to go over the Hamachi interface first which can cause problems eg with Windows file sharing. By moving Hamachi to the top you're essentially making it the default adapter system-wide which is probably not what you want unless you're doing a full blown VPN setup.

That star is WELL deserved!
Great job! :D

my hamachi seems to work, should i get this anyway? or wouldd it jsut be a waste of time.

Not trying to get off subject or offend you. But I think is a lot easier to just keep the 1.0.1.5 and not update to the latest version because it works fine and you don't have to adjust anything.

umm im getting unable to join and vice versa for the other person, the thing allowed us to see each other's games but this is happening now. Any ideas how to fix?
|
Will this allow people who have trouble hosting to host games?

Yeah sorry, but 1.0.1.3 and 1.0.1.5 work just fine.
Good work though

Make sure you're both using the same version of Starcraft, since LAN games don't auto update like Bnet does.

Barring any firewall on the Hamachi interface, yes. This will NOT help hosting on Bnet however.
