Bored playing starcraft alone while no one wants to play with me as LAN games... My friend Mike Lopez, just a walking distance near from our house, set-up my computer LAN connection and sharing files and it was done. When we done playing starcraft in multiplayer, before he went home is that came to our mind if we can connect LAN via internet connection and then we search all around the google and then we've found out a software Hamachi (www.hamachi.cc) . Hamachi is the software that WE to do exactly what we want - to setup a Local Area Network over my Internet connection. Then we download the software depends on what will be compatible with our copmuter (I have Windows and he has Linux) and then after following instructions and installing the program, we got connected to each other like we were on the same LAN but this time, it's LAN over Internet. T'was GREAT!!!
Here comes the step ' Test'. We open starcraft to play and... We are enable to play together just like we're on the same LAN connection but there's a times that the connection slows down and almost we dropped the game. But good news is, we finish play starcraft and it was horrible that we won the 'Test Game'. Hamachi provides a GUI setup for Windows users and a command line version for Linux and OSX. Gui version for Linux and OSX is said to be under development. It’s a great tool and it was pretty trivial to setup LAN Over Internet with Hamachi.
