Besides, your question is regarding some third-party software that is
not generally well known. I Googled "Hamachi" and they are "proud to
have 135,000 users now", so you know this isn't a widely known service
that has been around for a long time. Contact Hamachi tech support or
do as their webpage says and ask your question in their user forums
first. If you still can't figure it out, use other software that is
easier to understand or have a knowledgeable friend (one that is
*really* knowledgeable, not one who just says he is) or a computer
professional come and set it up for you.

Here's the url for their support:
