Heroes 3 multiplayer problem with hamachi

Hello

Just a few days ago me and a friend played Heroes 3 over hamachi and it worked for both, we found eachother by searching the hamachi IP in the game and got connected and could play.
I had Windows 7 ultimate 64bit then and he had windows 8 pro 64bit, both had the same hamachi version,the same heroes 3 version and we were both in the same network on hamachi.

But then the problems started, i decided to upgrade to windows 8.1 pro 64bit and installed hamachi and followed all the instuctions. I found the game he hosted in Heroes 3 in Tcp\Ip even without searching, it just popped up but i was unable to join it, just got at error message up about timing out. Tried disabling the firewall,forwarding the ports on my router but nothing helped.
I have also tried reinstalling Heroes3 and Hamachi and changed networks but still the same problem.
So i decided to install windows 7 ultimate 64bit again since it worked the last time we played, but im having the same problems i had i windows 8.1 pro 64bit, i find the game in tcp\ip but im unable to join it because it times out.

Anyone have a solution to this problem or is it very random ?

Yeah W7+W8 has no problems playing HMM3 together. Since you say that you have opened the required ports + making sure that no software is blocking, I'd say that the problem is likely to be on his end. Remember that if you don't use a static IP in Windows and in your router then the local IP will sometimes time-out and change. So, make sure the ports have been forwarded to the currently relevant local IP address. Also, if your friend is not very tech-savvy then it's time to setup a remote access to his PC/router.
