    It´s possible that the hamachi network driver got a higher priority over the wifi or lan adapter.

     

    To check that you need to go to the control panel, network and internet, network connections, properties of the wifi adapter. Now select "internet protocol version 4" and go to properties.

     

    Something like this:

    Now click on "advanced"

    How to change the network adapter settings in Windows to ...

     

    When the "advanced" windows opens you´ll see this:

    How to arrange network connection on Windows 10

     

    That intercafe metric needs to have a lower number than the Hamachi adapter. If it´s automatic uncheck the box and put a number 1, for example.

     

    Do the same thing to the lan adapter if you want. Put number 2 for it.

     

    Now go to the Hamachi adpater and in the same spot make sure it got a high number, like 9000. No problem with that.

     

    If you do that your windows will know which network adapter got the priority when it starts. Wifi, Lan and then Hamachi, and it should never try to use Hamachi and the primary.
