so far i could read
you say that your friend got exact the same settings as you have
theoretical it should work
exept if your conection with hamachi is not good (try to go to your hamachi ip and see if you see something)
ask your friend to do the same , or by clicking on browse in hamachi
if he can do that , then your conection is fine
if not , then something is wrong with hamachi or withthe firewall settings (maybe router firewall ??)
if it works , then we can continue to check the other things
be sure that those things are done
- windows firewall OFF
- norton antivirus and other virusscanners OFF (some block ports)
- router firewall OFF ( or enable DMZ )
- if router firewall can not be off , manual config port forwarding on this range , 1 - 65335
if that is done , then it should work
