Friends can't reach my server!

[JudgeTheGreat]

So for the past 4 months i have been play on a Hamachi server with a few friends and they haven't been able to get it to work. I don't want to use any other method other then Hamachi for the reason it is simple and i don't have to mess around with all the router settings so if you suggest that i don't use it you will be ignored. I just want to know how to correct set up the hamachi server so i can play with my friends.

For the most part have have the server use the Ipv4 that is given to me through Hamachi to connect to the server. I also use it for the ip in the property settings. If i am doing it wrong please let me know. Thank you for you Help!

Have you already checked if your Firewall lets the port you use pass TCP connections?

I am very sorry for the bad news is that the server client no longer support hamachi and no body ever succeed able to connect it either.

* Much better with strokes...

Seriously, what?
That is not true at all. The way you are establishing your network has nothing to do with my TCP host. If you want to create a VPN tunnel network, that's fine. But you have to do it correctly.

I heard it from some people in the chats trying it out but unable to set it up ( probably it is just being difficult ) and gave up after that...

Hamachi is way more difficult in theory than just using the internet as connectivity medium. I have no idea where people's obsession with tunnel VPNs come from. There are internet routes. Use them.

And I don't want you to lay down the idea of using a VPN, I just want to explain to you why it would be a bad idea in this situation:
Image you have a house, and you want to give a letter to your friend, who lives about two streets away from you. To get there, you need to cross two crossroads, and it would take you about 5 minutes. The way you get there: Just walk down the street, done.
Now, this is what the way looks like using a tunnel VPN:
You take the letter, give it to the Hamachi mail man. This mail man takes your letter through a tunnel out of the city, to a Hamachi building kilometers away from both your homes. There, it needs to be processed. Then, it will be taken by another mail man from the building and taken through a tunnel back into the city to your friend's house. This takes about 5 hours.

There already is a global network, called the internet. It connects every computer that is connected to it via routes. That is what your router does - it searches for the route your computer needs to send packages on the internet for them to reach your friend's computer. And it does this automatically. The only thing you need to do is telling your router that when packages come from your friend's computer, that the router should forward them to your computer. That is called Port Forwarding. We have a topic on setting up a server AND port forwarding in the FAQ/Resources, if you are interested.
Setting up a server.
Port forwarding
If you are still not convinced, try to unblock the port you are using the server on in your firewall (you will find tutorials on the internet, it's pretty easy), maybe that is the problem.
The "Setting up a server" how-to will still help you on using the server when you got it set up.
