Download Hamachi 1.0.2.3

LogMeIn released version 1.0.2.3 of Hamachi on Friday. With this program you can set up your own VPN. The program installs a virtual network card which makes it possible to set up a ‘direct’ connection between different computers without being hindered by any router, gateway or firewall. Files can then be exchanged and multiplayer games can be played via this connection. Since version 1.0, in addition to the still free version, the option has also been added to purchase a premium account, which has access to various extra options. Premium can be tried for 30 days, then for one, six or twelve months subscription be closed. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Changes in version 1.0.2.3:

• Modified network adapter and tunneling code as follows:
  • Improved handling of outbound traffic bursts
  • Re-enabled IPX support, which was initially deprived with an introduction of “Layer 3 tunneling domains” in 1.0.2.0
  • Modified built-in DHCP server to automatically disable itself if the adapter is configured with a static IP address.
  • Increased virtual IP lease interval from 30 seconds to a year.
  • DHCP IP address renewal is now initiated with a brief toggling of the adapter’s line status. This requires the “media sense” option for the adapter needs to be enabled, which is a default Windows value.
• Fixed timestamps in chat logs being off by one day
• Fixed cosmetic UI issues (language, wording, formatting, etc)
• Added new section (“Export Law Assurances”) to the EULA
• Modified the installer as follows:
  • Hamachi network adapter is now configured NOT to automatically register its IP with DNS. This is equivalent to un-checking “Register this adapter in DNS” option in DNS part of Advanced section of TCP/IP Properties of Hamachi adapter.
  • Failure to create .hamachi shell association is no longer treated as a critical error
  • Improved handling of “HrRenameConnection” failures on Windows 2000
  • Added a warning when installing Hamachi on Windows 2000/2003 servers that have “Dynamic DNS Updates” enabled in one of their DNS zones.
