Whenever I set my IP (in /etc/hosts) to hamachi's one, I can see him but he can't see me. The opposite happens if I set my IP to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) (that is, he sees me, I don't see him).

Thanks, I surely did not know about MESSAGE() calls, thanks.

One thing I forgot to say was that I am behind a router (and yet again if LAN doesn't work, why would Hamachi work??)...

You pointed me to the first place where I saw this solution which unfortunately does not seem to work...

I could have also said that I am perfectly able to play online, just not in the LAN (and Hamachi). The fact that it also fails within the LAN shows that it is not a 'class A'-'class C' mismatch (LAN addresses: 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.15). Hamachi addresses are not on class C, but that, as said before, doesn't seem to matter.
