Online games are becoming more and more popular every day. A large number of gamers prefer playing online games, as it is much more interesting than playing on their own.
To do this, many fans of online games use a special Hamachi utility, as it provides a connection between computers on a global network and protects the transmitted data. But sometimes users may see a message on their screens stating that the program was unable to connect to the subsystem. But there are simple solutions to fix this problem.
To solve problems correctly and quickly, you need to find out the reasons for the appearance of such messages. An error may appear due to incorrect operation of the Hamachi utility itself or the activity of an antivirus program. Both lead to loss of application functionality. Sometimes restarting your computer can help, but if this doesn't happen, then you might want to try reinstalling Hamachi.
How to remove a program?
The first step is to properly uninstall the program. To do this, go to the Start menu and select Control Panel. Here you should find the “Programs and Features” section. In the list that appears, select Hamachi and click the “Delete” button.
After this, you need to go to drive C and select Program Files.
This is where the Log Me In Hamachi folder is located. If it is present, it must also be removed. If you are using Windows 7, then there should be a backup copy of this folder on drive C. To find it, you need to manually go through the Users, UserName, AppData and Local directories. If the Log Me In Hamachi folder is found, it must be deleted. After this, there is nothing left on the computer associated with this program, and you can restart the PC.
Now you can install the Hamachi utility again. Which should resolve the error “Could not connect to the subsystem.”
Installing the program
To install the program, you need to download it from the Internet. To do this, you should choose a reliable source so as not to introduce malware onto your computer. As a rule, this utility can be downloaded absolutely free. After this, you need to run the program installer. A license agreement will immediately pop up, where you need to click on the “Agree” or Accept button. Then you need to check the box next to Download and install and click Next.
Installing the program takes only a few minutes. During the installation process, you will need to select the interface language of the utility and constantly click on the Next button. To fully install the program, you must agree to all terms and conditions. To do this, click “I Accept”. Next, you need to select the directory in which the utility will be saved. After selecting all the necessary parameters, you need to click on the “Install” button.
After installation, you must click on “Finish”. Then you can run the utility. If necessary, you can make some changes in the program settings to make it easier to use.
How to check the connection?
After installation, you need to check the functionality of the program. If the installation was completed correctly, then the connection will proceed without problems. otherwise, you will need to check the operation of the utility. To do this, go to the “Local Services” folder and select “Startup Type”. Here you will need to manually configure the program.
After this, you need to close the menu and run “Enable service”.
After completing these steps, you need to restart your computer and start Hamachi again. This time the program should connect to the subsystem without any problems.
Since recently only authorized users can use the Hamachi program, you must log in to the central server every time you turn it on. This usually happens automatically and without unnecessary problems, but if after starting Hamachi the error “Cannot establish a connection to the Logmein login service” appears, something has gone wrong.
It is unlikely that the error is due to communication problems with the server. Usually the reason lies in incorrect settings on the client side (i.e. on your computer) or on the server side (Logmein). There are 2 ways to solve the problem.
Method 1
After you register your account, launch Hamachi, go to " System» - « Options" In the " Status» connect your new account by clicking the appropriate button.
There you will see a new connection request that you need to confirm.
Click on the request and confirm it in the window that opens.
After that, try to establish a connection via Hamachi, everything should work!
“Judgment Day” has arrived and Hamachi is not connecting to the network. Why and what to do? First of all, the blame must be placed on the antivirus and firewall. Because after updating them, the exception settings may become lost (this may occur as a result of an incorrect shutdown of the PC). Therefore, we re-add Hamachi to the list of exceptions of the antivirus and firewall. Did it help? Then you are amazing! Enjoy the game with your friends.
Did not work? Let's reinstall!
Attention! Before installation, you must delete absolutely all files. Go to the Start menu, then to the control panel, look for the “Add or Remove Programs” item. We are waiting for the list of installed applications to load. Find Hamachi, click on it and select delete.
Let's check if there are any settings files left:
- Windows XP: Check the Program files folder for the presence of the Log me in hamachi folder. Found - delete!
- Win 7: Perform the action from the point above. Go to the folder C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local, also look for the folder and delete it.
Reinstalling the client. And this is not the end! After installing the new client, you need to configure the hamachi “Service”. Open “Control Panel” through the Start menu.
We look for the administration tab, open it and find the tab of the same name.
We look for a Hamachi-related service and set the startup option to “manual”. Turn on
After such a voluminous guide, Hamachi will connect to the network in any case, at least out of respect for you.
Often on the Internet you can find requests from Hamachi users to help them fix the “Unable to connect to the subsystem” error on Windows 7 or 8. Indeed, this is a very pressing problem that most users face sooner or later. But don't despair, the solution is quite simple. It will take literally a few minutes. There are several ways.
Starting the Hamachi service
First of all, you need to check if the Hamachi service is running, if not, start it:
- Open “Control Panel” -> “Administration” -> “Services”.
- In the list, find the “LogMeIn Hamachi Tunneling Engine” service.
- If this service is disabled, enable it.
Reinstalling the program
If the previous method did not help solve the problem, you can simply reinstall the program.
- Uninstall Hamachi along with all user settings.
- Install again.
- Perhaps restart your computer.
If this does not help, perhaps the cause of the error lies in the operation of security software? Check your antivirus and firewall settings, add Hamachi to the exclusion lists. Actually, after this, the damned error “Could not connect to the subsystem in Hamachi” simply has no chance.
Currently, use of the Hamachi program is only available to authorized users. Therefore, each time you connect to the system, you must be authorized within the central server. As a rule, this process is automated. After Hamachi starts up, the error “Unable to establish a connection to the Logmein login service” appears; we can safely say that the process has failed.
It would be wrong to blame the server for this error. The real reason is incorrect client computer settings or third party related to the server (Logmein). There are two ways to resolve this problem:
First way
Full installation of Hamachi and then stopping again. Upon completion of the initial installation of the system, you will be prompted for authorization. Please log in or register when creating a new account. This will result in an error-free connection or start of the software connection.
Second way
If you see a message that “The connection cannot be established” in Hamachi, you will need to check the computer network binding settings within your Logmein personal account. Registration is required. Read more about registration in the specific instructions.
After registering your account, you will need to launch Hamachi and visit the “System” items, where you should select “Options”. By selecting the “Status” tab, connect a new account when you click a certain button.
Next, register using the link https://secure.logmein.com/, and then go to “My Networks”. You will be presented with another connection-related request that will require confirmation. When prompted in the window, confirm the appropriate action.
