Hamachi is a small program that creates a Virtual Private Network that assigns individual ip address in the 5.xx.xx.xx range. Because it assigns this ip address you are able to do what was first too diffucult online. Let us say you (
Spanish Town) and another person (say:
Mandeville) are logged in the same network you are able
(in the simplest way) play games, share files, remote login, etc, just as you would sitting in the next room connected via a ethernet cable or wirelessly.
So now you know what it is. How it works is even simplier. When you have installed Hamachi and have it running (It comes with step by step Help) you can join a friends network to play some game that you both have just as you would with a regular LAN connection. Here:[

So
Mandeville and
Spanish Town both have FIFA06, but the opprtunity to play against each other is limited due to the distance and
Mandeville's nagging wife, so with
Hamachi they join a network called
YaadFIFA and enter the password
'goal' they can now play against each other from the comfort of their homes with no stress, just an active internet connection.
