Thanks for suggesting all those things..

now the last part is..that my Trends Micro PC-Cillin firewall is blocking it..but when disabling the firewall and using the WIN XP default firewall it is working fine..

So how can I add the program to the firewall exception of PC-Cillin...any suggestion..

Do I need to add both, the game.exe file as well as the hamachi client to the exception ?
__________
what is the type of protocol used in such transfer..TCP or UDP or ICMP... need help so that I can add it to the firewall exception ???
__________
it worked..

but the fact is that the game is running very slow..as if I am on 128 MB RAM..i am playing FIFA WC 2006..

what may be the problem..?? Does such LAN gaming consumes a lot of bandwidth..??
