--I am trying to find out the same thing... ANYONE KNOW HOW????
This has nothing to do with Game-Development, but I'll put in my two cents:
Does EOA have a online player-mode? If yes: what you are trying to do is illigal, buy a original copy and away you go.
If no: *mumbles something about portforwarding*

Thanks. I do have an original copy, and AOE II is so outdated that the online player-mode doesn't exist anymore. So I suppose Hamachi is the only way. We've tried Gamespy, that didn't work. Through both, Hamachi and Gamespy, the same thing happens every time. But we get the closest with Hamachi. My friend creates the game, and I can see his name in the TCP/IP games window. I select his name, I click "Join Game", it goes to a screen that says "Joining game. If you do not enter the game within 15 seconds, press esc..." and after about 15 seconds the screen closes and it says, "Unable to join game". We're so close, and we really want to learn how to play without using a LAN, because he's moving this summer.
Thanks again,
MARC
certain games need certain ports opened on the router in order to host. use google to find the ports u need to open and then go to your router's set up page and open them.

Hey thanks for the reply! I think you're right because I've tried everything else, and I've had a couple acquaintances tell me the same thing... The only problem is that they can't come show me how to do that (open a port), and they speak with all their computer genius jargon that I don't understand. I tried the google search thing too. Could you tell me exactly what to do in layman's terms? I have a WRT54G Linksys router. This website should give you any other specs you might need:

THANKS!!!

Its as simple as this, In XP go to control panel, Then Network Connections, Then at the top you should see the menu bar, Click on advanced, Click advanced settings. Then simply move hamachi to the top of that list.
The problem is that ages gives you the IP of the highest priority network device.

PS If this doesn't work use Hamachi 1.0.1.1, and be carefull with Linksys WRT54GS Version 6 routers. This router is the reason I couldn't figure out the problem for 2 years. If anyone has any idea why I'd be happy to know.
Good luck guys, SlyNine@hotmail.com is my MSN if anyone wants to play ages.

well if u really want to play the game you can turn off the windows firewall and anyother firewall you have and dmz the port in your router second depends on what routers you / and your friend have you can setup a vpn connection between them which is what hamachi does anyway
