The http in front of the domain name tells the browser to connect to port 80. When I go to my web browser and type in your domain name, DNS will resolve it to your IP address. But the server is on a Private LAN behind a NAT router. You have registered a domain name which will resolve to your public IP address. Lets say for instance you are running a webserver (port 80): And second by translating private LAN IP addresses into a Public WAN IP address. BUT, if you have a ROUTER attached, which I asked about earlier and still haven't found out the answer to - it acts as a firewall in two ways, first by blocking unsolicited port requests - which need to be forwarded to the proper PC running the game.

If all software firewalls are off, it wont matter - the ports should already be open. VPN can be setup other wise with some Router configuration and what not. In my opinion, from what I have read, Hamachi seems to be a bad choice for creating a VPN since all machines that use Hamachi are actually clients which connect to a main server. Further more, the wikipedia page on it states that it doesnt work with all NAT routers without doing a port forward. never used it before, but it seems the only way it worked for the OP was to enter the ports it uses into the firewall. Or, on the other hand, do you want anyone to be able to connect to the game server?Įdit: Hmm, well, it seems Hamachi is supposedly a zero configuration VPN tool.
Unless I am terribly mistaken here, games will never show two servers on separate networks in the LAN section - only in the Internet section.ĭo you mean that you are trying to create a VPN connection? Basically where you friend will remotely login to your Network, then have access to your network services - and by so doing, only the people on your network (which he will then be logged onto) will be able to play on the game server?
