    i heard about a program that can make your internet connection into a lan network or sumthing? so you can play like lan videogames with ppl who live far away, as opposed to playing from with an internet connection, anyone have any idea what program they were talking bout? if so, name + link please

    It is called Hamachi. My friends and I use it. It works well for playing games but transering files take an extremely long time.

    EDIT: Here.

    in hamachi a yellow light means like connected but like not complete connection. green light is like full. its kinda like bittorent programs i guess. like if it's yellow i cna't chat w/ him and stuff but i can with green, basically yellow means we're onot really connecting and sumthings blocking it i think but i donno what. any1 who uses hamachi knnow how to solve it?
