Firewall Program Rules
Click this tab to confirm Norton 360 allows Hamachi.exe to function properly. On a default installation of Norton 360 and Hamachi, this rule should already be created.
If it is not, restart your machine, start Hamachi, and Norton should learn the Hamachi program's connectivity. Once this rule shows up, you can set it from custom to Allow to ensure everything works properly.
