Play Empire Earth online with Hamachi
Hamachi is a handy tool that also allows you to play LAN games over the Internet when, for example, regular online mode doesn't work.
- Start the network program and click on "Network" in the window.
- There you select the option that suits you. Host the session, click Create, otherwise join your friend's network.
- All players must be on the same network. So only one person has to create a network at a time, all others then connect to it.
- In the best case, you can now play LAN mode together. If that doesn't work yet, you have to correct the IP addresses:

- Open the "Network and Sharing Center" in the Windows Control Panel.
- Here click on the entry "Change adapter settings".
- Under "Advanced" select the "Advanced Settings". If you don't see the menu bar, press the [ALT] key once.
- Under "Adapters and bindings" you will see the item "Connections". Hamachi should appear in this list - probably not in the first position.
- First click on Hamachi and then on the up arrow until Hamachi is in the first position.
- Confirm the settings with "OK" and test the LAN mode again.
Sometimes network tools need some fine tuning. We will explain in the next practical tip how to set Hamachi correctly in general.
