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.

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. Take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.0.1.

You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is admin, and the password is blank. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.

Please visit our default username and passsword page, if the username and password shown above did not work for you.

Click the Advanced button near the top of the page.

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 Virtual Server menu and then click Apply.

And that is it! You are done!
