Call of Duty World At War & Hamachi

Hello everyone, it is my first time on these forums. Firstly, I have to say I absolutely love Windows 7. It's XP and Vista combined, so I get the pretty graphics of Vista and the speed of XP. I haven't used Vista that much so I was unfamiliar with Windows 7 for first-time use.

So here's problem: I can't play nazi zombies with my friends via Hamachi.

When I had Windows XP, everything was fine, but with all the new features and securities of Windows 7, I couldn't connect to or people couldn't connect to my games. When I host a LAN game, my friends can see my game, but they can't connect to it. When my friends host a game, I can't see it all. At first I thought it was something to do with Windows 7 firewall and my router's ports. My router was already configured so I eliminated that as a problem. Now the Windows 7 firewall, I turned it off, all of it (Domain, Home and Private). Still no luck. I even allowed it through the rules section of Windows 7 securities, but then again the firewall is off so configuring the rules wouldn't do anything.

The rest of my friends are using Windows XP and I'm the only one with Windows 7. We are all using Hamachi 1.0.1.5 (the most compatible version with no problems so far). I've tested it with the latest Hamachi (1.0.3.0), but that still didn't work either. Hamachi 1.0.3.0. is better for Vista/Windows 7 users, because Windows actually detects it as a network where you can change between Home and Private network and identifies it as a LAN connection. Hamachi 1.0.1.5 however shows the connection as only Private and you can't change it and it shows it as a uknown connection, but it still enabled and connected.

Before Windows 7, we had no problems whatsoever. Does anyone know what is the problem or know of any solutions to fix this?

Note: My other computer which is connected to my router has World At War installed as well and I hosted a lan game and both our computers can connect to each other no problem (this is without hamachi). With hamachi turned on, we can't connect thus the original problem. I strongly believe that is not a router issue, because nothing of it has been changed and it has been working before (I am able to host games online, just not LAN via Hamachi). It's something to do with Windows 7, I know they're not officially done with it yet, but I think it should still work, because I'm using Windows 7 (build 7264) which is the RTM (release to manufacturer) version.

I know this is kind of a long thread and I appreciate you just reading it. But if someone has a solution, you will be praised. Thanks everyone.

hi there, For me and my friends I usaully host it, windows 7, it doesnt matter if it is unknown network it is still working. make sure your friends hamachi network is on the top list.

are you sure they have to change priority? because it worked before and they didn't change anything.

what is the exact error they recieve. like what does it say when they try connect, have them press the console key to see the reason

The error when they try to connect to me is the game session is no longer available or something (which is similar to router problems) but that's not the problem. I can't even see the game when they make.

that is the same thing that happens to me, that is why i usually host it

I can't host it, they can't connect, its like a time out.

First make sure all of you guys have the same game version 1.4.
then make sure you all have the same lan fix.
also check if you guys can ping each other through hamachi.
oh i almost forgot, have everyone have the same hamachi version as you

We all have game version 1.4, all have hamachi version 1.0.1.5. As for as the pinging goes, they all can ping me (but still can't join). I can ping 2 of 3 of my friends.

here i found this
"if u have vista… to fix it u have to turn on the game in administrator’s acount… so right click on the shortcut and press: “Run as administrator"… that’s especially important when it comes to the host computer… :)"
try that
