    Confused about Homegroups.


    I created a VPN using Hamachi, it's listed as a second connection, I set it as a "Home" connection.
    Problem is, the computer I'm trying to connect to is both on my local, and Hamachi network.
    I decided, OK I'll just create a Homegroup on my Hamachi network!
    I went to create it, but it appears it created a Homegroup within both networks?

    I'm really confused here, I want to create a Homegroup on JUST the Hamachi network right now, but when I go to create one, it's listed on both...

    Will I still be able to use Homegroups with Hamachi even outside the local server, because it's a VPN?
