Hamachi doesnt shows in wireless networks.

System thinks what wireless devices and connection is disabled; wireless network service doesnt run.

Hamachi working, but I have doubts about current version, which I try to use(first Install 2.1.0.374, then change to 2.1.0.215 without re-install).

I've been playing fine old days with old hamachi (around 2007), and it worked for me this year with new logmein. What you and your partner have to do (as far as i remember):

download and install "logmein hamachi", non-commercial installation;
both have account on logmein website
disable firewall for hamachi's connection
both connect to hamachi network (just press "power on" button)

Then you have to create the network in your logmein profile. Yeah, online (6 years ago everything was inside the program), after that ask your partner to connect to the network you've created - you must give him the ID of the network - 9 numbers. Make sure he appears in your network list of your hamachi client - try to ping his address let him ping yourself.

Here's how it looks in my case:

Then you both start the game. Who's the host doesn't matter. If you're hosting, you might see your local or ips ip address, but not hamachi's one - that's normal and doesn't matter. Your partner should use your hamachi's ip address to connect to your game.

If something's stuck when connecting just both reconnect to hamachi network and restart (close and run again!) the game.

If everything is allright, save before going to any bulkhead/lift. Make a fresh save each time. It will save your nerves and time!

If you still have problems and need to prioritize the network connections, I looked up a guide which tells you step by step to get to the settings.

Thanks Olfred, I updated the multiplayer guide with a description for windows 7.

While we are at that, you can block a program from using a certain connection with the default windows 7 firewall:
In firewall advanced settings find inbound rule for "System Shock 2", rightclick, select Properties, Advanced, customize Interface Types.

Just noting this here to remind myself of updating the guide later. 
EDIT: Done.

OK, I understand my mistake, I think.

What I do:
- Load Hamachi, as usual.
- Go to "Change Adapter Settings", several times press Alt+E(doesnt work from the first time), select Advanced.
- In "Adapters and Bindings" select Hamachi and press up arrow that it was at the top of the list.
- Disable the internet.
- Run the game. Now I see Hamachi IP adress.
- Connect to the internet.

To be sure that all works, me need little help - 1-3 people for testing multiplayer.
