Does Lan Bridger support an auto-join feature, whereby you could add a command after the lanbridger application to start your saved public settings file? Can this be done?

I would like to report that game broadcasting doesnt work on Lan Bridger.
eg, I create a network with Lanbridger, I send the Public file to my friend who lives in a diffrent nabourhood. He connects, I can see him on the connection window as being connected, the program assigns IP address to both of us.

Now: Try to host a lan game on Call of Duty 4, when he navigates to the join game screen, changes the view to "local", he cant see my game there, when he types in my Lan Bridger IP, he is able to connect to my game. Now this isnt really a problem, the problem comes in with Call of Duty 5, when hosting a
CO-OP match, because there isnt any game broadcast he cant see my game lobby, so he cant join my games, its unfortunate but this game doesnt support direct IP connections, technically, the game hasn't started yet in the lobby, only when you click on "Start match" does it create the game, and you cant connect to an already started match of CO-OP.

So basically, my problem is that my games dont broadcast the game through the virtual network that Lan Bridger creates, and with such, nobody can see it in any game they play, I have to connect directly with their IP, this sucks, as I've menstioned, not all games support direct IP connections...

Thanks, I hope you guys can sort this out, as its the only issue preventing me from using the software...

Of course, I could have configuration problem, but I havent changed anything on the program itself, all is left at defaults.

I would like to excuse my english, might be bad to read :P

Every time i reconnect to the internet / reset my pc I have to give my public profile file out to the people who connect to me. I think it is because my ip changes (isp uses dynamic ips). Is there anything i can do to fix this?

"Your virtual network is currently inaccessible to others" I get this no matter what I do, please help!

I really need this program to work on Linux and especially from the command line, hosting server/network. Must be able to run as a system service/daemon from startup scripts.

How does this program connect peers? I have used Hamachi and it is very easy. The only part I do not really like is that you need to connect to thier servers to get connected to your peers. Your terminology states that one user becomes the 'server' so to speak, and that other peers connect to that 'servers' vpn. That is simplified, but you get the picuture. In hamachi, once you create a network, anyone with permission can join, regardless of whether you are on or not. So how does this compare in that respect?

Also, what can you give me about the ip addresses? Hamachi assigns an ip internal to them I think. Often in XP you can see the vNic become enabled and see a connectivity issue that gives a 'partial connectvity' icon in the tray. I have found that by writing to the registry in the corresponding reg key the ip hamachi assigns you (which seems permanent), you effectively create a static ip for the vNic which solves the 'partial connectivity' issue.

What are the ip addresses that could be used? Why? Do they change?

I have made rules for my firewall with hamachi, so that I can still have a firewall up and also use hamachi. I don't want to just blanket allow it. Do you have any information as to what ports and remote addresses will be expected?

In short, I am always looking at new tools, and have tried yours on vmWare. But I am wondering more about the technical addressing side. My friends and I use hamachi to play games mostly. LAN style. Especially games that have coop in them or might not be great or have any online portions with the same effect. I have found that hamachi is not so great for use as file sharing. It has upload issues, perhaps due to settings in the vNic. We use primarly free file storage services for most of that. What can you tell me about those same issues regarding your program?

Many questions.

Thank you.
