Hi all, me and my room mate are tryin to have a game of this with a friend on our network in another flat, now me and my room mate can see each other, but we cannot see our friend, and he cannot see us, we have even tried Hamatchi and nothing, is there any way to fix this? Thanks!
 
First off i would try and ping your friend, if you can successfully ping him then you at least have a connection.

Perhaps their firewall could be causing problems?
 
I had a similar problem when trying DS2 on a LAN - the only workaround I can find is the following: (although it seemed a lot of hassle so I've not actually tried it!!)

1. Connect to Hamachi.
2. Disable your primary network connection through Network Connections.
3. Launch DS2 and start hosting a game in the LAN lobby.
4. Tab out and re-enable your primary network connection.
5. Reconnect to Hamachi (power button twice).
6. Have other players join your game.
7. Play!

Note: Incase you encounter the "this name is already in use" when trying to join the LAN lobby, everyone involved rebooting their computers will solve the problem.

If this doesnt work - go out and get Titan Quest and Titan Quest: Immortal Throne - its LOADS better!!!!! :D

Hope this helps....
