CSS hamachi server setup help

MumboJumbo · 17 Apr 2009 at 19:38

Hey im trying to set up a hamachi server to play with a few friends online with in our own private game. however they cannot join to my server.

Ive changed sv_lan 0 and they are adding my hamachi ip as a favourite server to join and we dont ahve firewalls.

When tehy try it says server nto responding. Is it because im i the game, do i need to host a dedicated one?

is it because i ahvn;'t made hamachi my priority 1 network? Im not sure how to do it on vista.

Can't you just create a passworded server in CS:S without Hamachi?

sv_lan should be set to 1.
Stick with hamachi as it eliminates router problems etc.

Tell your friends to click on the 'LAN' tab in the server browser. Your server should pop up.

Nope, but we joined someone elses hamachi network and as logn as i hosted a game and put sv_lan 0 and they typed in my hamachi ip it worked. So it must be something to do with the port forwarding on my hamachi network i presume?
