    [Guide] Play LAN-version games online

    So if you are one of thoes who don't wanna buy this game and you decide to download the LAN version of it. You can atleast play it at LAN aight, but if you do wanna play it when you're not a LAN? You can actually play it at home using a little program, only those who have the program can join the servers but great if you're couple of friends who downloaded a game and wanna play at home.


    I tried this @ Counter Strike 1.6 and Warcraft III (both LAN version)
    But I bet it works on all modified LAN versions on games.



    Requirements:
    - Hamachi (Download here: Download Hamachi 1.0.2.5 - filehippo.com )
    1. Install Hamachi, it should be easy. Just press 'Next' 'till its complete.
    All who wants to play on the server need this program.

    Now if you are the host of the game, go to step 2a, else go to step 2b.

    2a. Open up Hamachi, press the On/off button in the down left corner and choose a nickname. It doesn't really matter. Now click that triangle in the down right corner and press 'Create a new Network' ! Choose a name and a pw. Your friends will need those info to connect to the server and hamachi.
    When you're done press 'Create' . Now it's done for the host

    2b. Open up Hamachi, press the On/off button in the down left corner and choose a nickname. It doesn't really matter. Now click that triangle in the down right corner and press 'Join an existing Network' ! Type in the name and password of the network the host created earlier and press 'Join'
    "-both the host and the people wanting to join have to have Hamachi downloaded and installed
    -only the people you give the info to will be able to join"

    Now, you should be able to play LAN games 'online' with your friends. If you have any questions or need any help, reply in this thread.
    Thanks for me!

    You can't on the lan version. The one you don't need steam for?

    And plus, it works for games like Warcraft III , starcraft etc.

    EDIT: I mean, if you DOWNLOAD Warcraft III and use a fake cd key you can't play online, if you get hamachi you can play with others who have it.

    just making sure people know, but this would be a 'closed' game...

    -both the host and the people wanting to join have to have Hamachi downloaded and installed
    -only the people you give the info to will be able to join
