Attempting to connect to a Hamachi Minecraft Server gives 'Connection timed out: no further information' error

Try going into

  • (On Windows 7/8) Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network Connections
  • (On Windows XP) Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections

You should see a bunch of icons for your different network connections.

  1. Go into the menu at the top (if it is hidden, press the Alt key to show it). This is the menu that says File, Edit, View etc.
  2. There should be an 'Advanced' dropdown. Click that, and select Advanced Settings.
  3. Using the up and down buttons, move your Hamachi network connection to the top of the list.

Then try again. This can sometimes fix issues with Hamachi not working correctly.


Ok so a couple of things.

  1. Check your firewall in case that is stopping it
  2. Have you set up the server right? You obviously know how Hamachi works, so you know about the IPv4 to use as the ip right? Well you need to go into the server settings and copy and paste your IPv4 adress into the option in there that says 'server-ip=' paste that there. This might be what you're missing, also keep the server application open (The console) When you close that the server stops.
  3. Double check they're joining the right ip (IPv4 address)

I've set up quite a few Hamachi servers so this is from first-hand knowledge learnt from a lot of time researching :)

Hope this helped you
