How to set the Hamachi network adapter correctly
A network adapter is added to your system when you install the VPN tool. If it is configured incorrectly, "Hamachi" will not work as expected.
- Enter "ncpa.cpl" in the search bar of the start menu and press "Enter", whereupon you will be taken to the network connection view.
- The menu bar is displayed by pressing the "Alt" key. There, under "Advanced", select the entry "Advanced Settings".
- Mark the entry "Hamachi" under the item "Connections". Click on the upward pointing arrow on the right-hand side until "Hamachi" is at the top of the list. Close the window by clicking "OK".
- Right-click on the "Hamachi" adapter in the network connections view to open the context menu and select "Properties".
- In the displayed list, click on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP / IPv4)" and then on the "Properties" button. In the newly opened window click on "Advanced".
- Remove the checkmark at "Automatic Metric" and enter "10" in the field below (1).
- Finally, select the default gateway entry (usually "5.0.0.1") in the same window. Remove the checkmark at "Automatic Metric" and this time enter the value "1500" in the field below (2). Click on "add" and confirm all changes with "OK".
