Backup your hamachi profile

Many times you need to format your PC and start anew. What about your so loved Hamachi configs and your so long “had”, ip address? Backing it up need only a minor copy-and-paste. (In a safe location).

The easy way

Launch Hamachi
Click on the “pulley” looking icon on the bottom left corner of Hamachi – “Configure Hamachi”
From the pop-up menu choose “Preferences“
On the left pane of the opened window entitled “Status and Configuration“, select “System” (again presented with a pulley icon)
Now, you would be presented with 3 buttons. Click on the one with caption, “Open Configuration folder”
Hamachi configuration folder will be opened. Go up one level
Finally you will see a folder named “Hamachi”.
Copy it in a safe location and you would be safe.

The “not so lengthy” way

C:\Users\Guru\AppData\Roaming\

Replace “Guru” by your username, open location and finally copy and paste folder “Hamachi”

You can open the location by navigating one level at a time to the required directory or simply press Windows Button + R to open the “Run” dialog box, paste the location in the text box and hit Enter to go to the “Roaming” directory.

Easy?

In-Game Voice Communication with TeamSpeak

If you have ever gamed online with some friends, you know that communication is a must, and this is specially valid if you are playing Left 4 Dead (HUNTER!!!) or other games like 배팅사이트!

Sometimes, there is really the need to shout at that camper and tell them to get their butt into fighting. Or to shout for help. But typing just doesn’t convey the message with enough vigor or urgency. What you need is voice communications. What you need is TeamSpeak.

(This tutorial is for Windows, but TS works on Linux too. I’ll try to cover that at some other time).

Teamspeak (TS) can also be used when not gaming. For example, if you want to hold a conference among friends, or some other people. But I guess that for these stuff, Skype works best. The problem with Skype is that it provides quality at the cost of bandwidth, and when you are gaming on the low upload speeds in Mauritius, every last bit of bandwidth is important. So if you want a bandwidth-efficient way of holding a conference of around 16 people at a time (there can be more), Teamspeak is the way to go, without killing your connection.

To facilitate the connection among your friends, for both gaming on a virtual network as well as TS connection, we would like to recommend Hamachi. You can check our Hamachi article if you wish.

How to use Teamspeak? Well it’s simple enough: Teamspeak consists of 2 parts: The Server and the client. One of you people will have to host the server, and the rest will connect to that person. The person hosting the server will have to connect to him/herself. Therefore, I will break this article in 2 parts, one for the host and one for the clients. Here goes:
