That only works if the signal doesn't start degrading after 500something feet.

WE HAVE A WINNER

Why bother with LANs and shit if you can just use the net? :confused2:

I'm sure we could help you better if we knew what you wanted to do...

This man reeks of truth.

Technically, when you join a multiplayer game, at least with Halo, the two computers ARE connected to each other, via ip address. If you are not the host, you are connected as a client (which is why rcon was made for Halo, so in the case of the host's absense, or dedi servers, certain trustworthy clients could change the map or move on in the mapcycle.)

Ok fine. My Girlfriend is 14 and I am 13 I really need to help her on her computer but she lives in Florida and I live in Ohio. I need to gain access to her computer with out her parents finding out because they dont know that me and her are going out. Got it? What else you need to know. Remember I am only 13 so I cant buy stuff and my parents dont even know I have a Girlfriend. (I try and keep my personal life personal to my and my girlfriend)

Yea I cant make servers for some reason. I will make them and I can get in them but no one can find it (I know my friends are there trying and I got on another computer to look for it >.<). I use Wirless but it says its Local Area Connection. I got hamachi,wirless,LAN,and a router. I cant shut my firewall off (even though it says its off it is not). I could always make a hamachi and they join by LAN but how is ~RuS7~ going to get members that way? I could use hamachi for when we do like skydiving and movies... oh srry I forgot that I was posting on a post :P.
