Few problems, my friend no longer has a ps2, and even if he did, the servers for this game are long gone. So, we thought for a bit and came to the idea of playing the PC version online. So, we both got the game. We tried setting up a game on GameSpy, it simply wouldn&#8217;t work for some reason. I thought for a bit and remembered that people were using Hamachi to setup a virtual type LAN configuration. This would work! We would finally be able to play THPS4 together like we did back when I was 13 years old!</p>
<p>Few more problems, however <img src='http://technologyinsanity.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  We just thought starting up Hamachi was going to be enough. Not so. You have to make sure Hamachi is the default network adapter so the game uses it. That&#8217;s simple enough, right? Here&#8217;s a short guide of what we did to do that.</p>
<p>Click start &#8211;&gt; Settings &#8211;&gt; Control Panel &#8211;&gt; Network &amp; Internet Connections &#8211;&gt; Network Connections &#8211;&gt; Look where File, Edit, etc are located and find Advanced &#8211;&gt; Advanced Settings &#8211;&gt; Click on the Hamachi adapter and click up.  A reboot will be required.</p>
<p>Now that was done on both of our computers, everything should work, right? Not so. He could ping me, but I could not ping him through Hamachi. We finally narrowed it down to his Anti-Virus program, once he killed that I could ping him.</p>
<p>Now everything should work, right!? No. We couldn&#8217;t figure out why I couldn&#8217;t see his host in the game. Long story short, you cannot minimize the game while hosting, or else it kills the host. Now I could connect, and we were able to play just like we used to.Very cool.</p>
<p>I hope this helps someone if they&#8217;re trying to setup a LAN server through Hamachi for a game. It can be a pain at first. <img src='http://technologyinsanity.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
