Port Forwarding Hamachi on the 2wire 3800HGV-B
Before we can forward ports for Hamachi, we need to set the port Hamachi will be using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up Hamachi.
Click gear button at the bottom right hand side of your screen. Clicking the gear button will bring up a list of options. In this list of options click Preferences.
In the menu on the left hand section of the new window that opened up click the System option. In the right hand section of that window, there should be a Fix UDP Port checkbox. Go ahead and check that box now. To the right of the magic option there is a box with a port number in it. You can change that port number to whatever port you want. Please enter the port you chose into the box below.
Hamachi's Magic Port
Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser.
If you do not know your routers internal IP address please read our How To Find Your Routers IP Address guide.
In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your router.
By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.1.254.
Click the Firewall button.
Click the Firewall Settings button.
Use the Select a computer box to choose a computer to forward ports to. This box contains a list of computer names that are visible on your network.
Click the Add a new user-defined application link.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Hamachi requires you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Edit Application menu and then click Add Definition.
