Kudos! After quitting SWR for a couple of years due to problems connecting through a firewall using MSN Messenger, I played my 1st game using Hamachi tonight and it was great. * There was no need to download or install TCP/com. * All we did was use the free Hamachi program (had to resort to "swrebellion9" password "starwarsrebellion"), then use the TCP/IP connection option, then the Host chose "Set Up Game" and proceeded normally, and finally the other player chose "Connect To Game" and typed in the Host's HAMACHI IP address. That was it! EASY and FUN!! Thanks for coming up with this simple way of getting around firewalls!!
