Hi there,

I've tried to play LFS over Hamachi with couple of friends today. I have conneted to Hamachi, created LFS server set as "local", kept auto IP config enabled. I was able to create game, but when my friends tried to connect, LFS always retuned "You must enter a valid local IP" error(in join menu). My hamachi virtual IP is 5.24.39.187 - just for complete info. When 192.168.xxx.xxx is typed in IP field in join menu, LFS is trying to connect to this IP, even if it doesn't exist, but when I type my Hamachi IP, it returnes this error.
Strange is that when I set DEMO instead S2 in game type(on server and in connection menu), LFS accepts IP like 5.xxx.xxx.xxx, not only 192.168.xxx.xxx IPs. Also when I try to connect to myself from another LFS instance by entering localhost IP(127.0.0.1), LFS connects in S2 game mode...
Is it a bug or there is something that I don't know about LAN(or Hamachi) LFS playing?

BTW, manual IP configuration does the same...

Unlocked LFS versions can only connect to "valid" typical LAN IP ranges.

That's the reason

Hehe, it is probably protection against illegal Hamachi servers where S2 crackers can play... good trick, Scawen

Hamachi what? Cracked servers?

Simply put you can only connect to server via lan if they have a valid lan IP address. Such as 192.168.*.*

Correct, Internet IP ranges won't work in LAN mode.
