Have you set your game up as a LAN Game ?? I know when a few of my buds used to play Supreme Commander over Hamachi, we had to set the game type as LAN.

game only has the option for lan.

Check your firewall/security software at both ends - one or both are probably blocking the traffic.

It's because most games don't search for Hamachi's IP range I believe, but I'm not sure.

With all LAN games, check your firewall and port forwarding settings.

For CSS, you need to add your Hamachi IP to favourites in order for it to work or type the command sv_lan 0 in console.

For most other games, a direct connect via IP is often needed.

EDIT: For clarification, it's the Hamachi network IP of the guy with the server started that needs to be added to your favourites, no need to include the port, if you still can't find the server.
