Wait, I WILL kiss you!! Thank you so much for that. I was really close, in fact, I had done the exact same thing before (except that the shared library was programmed by me, but the purpose was the same). The only difference between what I did and what you is that I never tried to use that exact combination (hamachi ip in hosts and hack). I managed to get my friend in my game when I made it bind to 0.0.0.0 with my /etc/hosts, but it would fail, since the packages weren't being sent to my IP after that. Thank you very much, once more!! This solves LAN and Hamachi!
