This is kinda cheating. But I found it to be very helpful and quick to install hamachi on elastix.

First lets get into shell.

mkdir /tmp/wget

cd /tmp/wget

"Were gonna steal some code from trixbox "
wget yum.trixbox.org/centos/5/RPMS-2.6.0.7/ha....9.9.9.20-1.i386.rpm

rpm -ivh hamachi-0.9.9.9.20-1.i386.rpm

chmod 777 /usr/local/sbin/setup-hamachi

setup-hamachi

Now follow the prompts.



If this tutorial helped you please pass on some good karma!

I read Hamachi is used to establish safe network environment. (for windows)
How exactly is Hamachi used in this case?

Thanks!

Safely connect a roaming user "example: laptop with softphone" to the PBX for encrypted calls.

Or, connect 2 or more elastix systems to the same hamachi vpn, create trunks between them and have a secure point to point connection without the need of opening ports on your firewall

thank you it works.

what should be answers to the following:

Network to join:
Network password:
Machine Nickname:

Also, I am trying to setup Hamachi GUI client for Windows and I seem to have problem filling out all the fields. Anyone can guide me to a good tutorial?

Thanks

Hello snowspeeder,

Thank you it works initially but there is a problem after restarting the elastix machine, it says have you run start hamachi? then if running hamachi start it doesnt run and gives error can you please help me urgently to fix this issue may be i need to add it as start up service? if so please let me know how to do it as everytime i restart Elastix i have to reinstall to make it work.

snowspeeder, when restarting your system, hamachi does not automatically restart with it. at a command prompt type tuncfg & hit enter. next type, hamachi start & hit enter. just to make sure hamachi is running at this point, type hamachi & hit enter. it should show you something like this below where XXX is your defined nickname if applicable.

Hamachi, a zero-config virtual private networking utility, ver 0.9.9.9-20

version : hamachi-lnx-0.9.9.9-20
pid : 2783
status : logged in
nickname : XXX

And lastly, issuing the hamachi -c command will list all available options that you can use. Hope that helps you.
