I’m running between an Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 machine (Hamachi 0.9.9.9-20) and a Windows XP machine with SP3 (Hamachi 2.0.0.60). Both machines are behind NAT devices. Just having this problem last night. Prior in updating to Hamachi 2, I had no problems it, but now the connection drops after it’s been idle for about 15-30 seconds (sigh). But, after done some googling for a while, there is a temporary fix for this issue.

For Ubuntu users like me, follow these steps .

Step 1 : Create the config files for Hamachi 0.9.9.9-20

sudo touch ~/.hamachi/config

sudo nano ~/.hamachi/config

type in "KeepAlive 10" (without quotes) and save it.

Step 2 : Restart your Hamachi 0.9.9.9-20 client

hamachi stop && hamachi start

Hamachi is a freeware application that initiates a virtual private network (VPN) between peers. This is extremely useful for initiating applications such as games over the Local Area Network (LAN).

This tutorial is for setting up Hamachi with a gui based interface (optional) in Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.

1. Download Hamachi
2. Extract it somewhere.
3. Open up a terminal and CD into the directory.
4. Run ‘make install‘ or ‘sudo make install‘ to install hamachi.
5. Run hamachi-init to generate crypto identity.
6. Download and Run hamachi-gui – x86
