Description of Problem:

Neither me nor my friend can connect to my tekkit server using Hamachi, We both have full minecraft accounts (not hacked) and we've used hamachi to connect to my vanilla minecraft server before, I can connect by using Local host but neither of us can connect by typing in my Hamachi IP.

Error Messages:

Check your firewall. I had this issue the first time I tried to run a server. Verify your port is available through the firewall.

Also if you have Symantic or other antivirus that monitors network traffic, verify it's not blocking it there either.

I do not recommend disabling your firewall, but as a quick test, that should do. Once you know it is the firewall, open the ports and you should be good. There should be plenty of posts on the internet explaining how to open a port for any given firewall brand.

If the other person is outside your home network on the internet, you'll need to look into opening the port on your router too and forward the traffic back to your pc.

I had already tried disabling my firewall and Anti-virus Programs (sorry should have mentioned that) and I'm now trying to open the ports on my router, but I don't know which port(s) I need to open or how to find out etc. But as far as I know my router ports would not affect using Hamachi which is why I'm confused.

I'm not familiar with hamachi or whatever that is, but tekkit/minecraft server default uses 25565 port. You can find it (and or change it) in server.properties file.

And if Hamachi is connecting to it's central service there are no ports you need to open for that. Follow Darzavor's information above for use of the server without Hamachi. Note that the Firewall can also be attached to the Hamachi network adapter.

SOLVED, thanks for your help guys but it was a Hamachi problem some files had become corrupted and reinstallation sovlved it.
