One more setup gotcha -- I found that the virtual LAN adapter would override the normal one when a client connection was made.  I'd lose internet access, and that would be signified by the LAN icon in the system tray changing from the normal square looking thing to a globe.  The solution is, when setting up the client, to go into the advanced settings for communications at the bottom right on the setup screen.  There you will find a checkbox that says "no adjustments to the routing table,"  Check that box.  If you have already set up the client, make sure it is disconnected, right click on the setup and select "properties" which will take you to the setup screen, where you can get into the advanced communications propertys, check the box, and then reconnect.  Checking that box stopped the problem for me.

N1MM is now setup to run Hamachi VPN. All computers end up in a mesh network, no central db. Sets up without a lot of VPN knowledge. Our club W4AC used it for the Florida QSO party a month or two ago. 7 individual stations using a common log. Worked fine. It was fun watching other stations log Qs. The N1MM team responded very quickly to questions via groups io. We bought up to the 32 user version of Hamachi to allow up to 32 users on at once. Free version allows 5 Tom W4IEE
