Title: Hamachi Question
Post by: SirNobody on January 22, 2009, 12:57:36 AM: Hey,

I've noticed several different icons next to people's names/IP address in Hamachi. A few of them I have figured out on my own (i.e. the gray star means offline the green star means online). But there are some others I haven't figured out. Can anyone tell me what gold star means? A blue arrow (pointing down)? Or a bright green star (the normal green start with a goldish border/background)?

Tschow,

Gold Star=Paying Hamachi User (or someone on free trial for 30 days)

Is there anyway to indicate being "away" in Hamachi?

You can set a status message for Hamachi. Set it by clicking the button on the bottom that looks like a paw.

Also, in the options menu, (prefs, presence) there is an option to automatically switch your status after a certain amount of time that your computer is inactive. I use this and it works great. :)
