5. If the remote PC is located in the same LAN no additional setup is needed. Please proceed to step 6.

If the remote PC is located in a different LAN or is behind a router please download Hamachi from here: Hamachi. Install Hamachi on your local and remote PC. Run Hamachi, click “Power On” button on the lower left part of Hamachi window.

You will get a virtual IP address shown on the upper part of Hamachi window. This IP address will be used for connecting with Radmin. Then please click Create or Join Networks button on the lower right part of Hamachi Window – choose Create a new Network.

Set a desired name and a password for your virtual network. Then on the remote PC please click Create or Join Networks button and choose to Join an existing Network, type in your network name and Password for joining a Network. After you are done, you will see that you will get two or more IP addresses shown while you point your mouse cursor over the Radmin Server tray Icon. Now you are done with setting up a virtual Network.

Also, if you are willing to have a remote access to the workstation behind a LAN with setting up NO third-party software on each PC of if you are looking for accessing remotes from your LAN to the workstations located in different LAN you can use port-forwarding option.

Please, read what port forwarding is here Port-forwarding.
After that, visit this page Port-forwarding guide for Radmin, find you router model and follow the onpage instructions.

6. Again on the remote computer make sure that Windows built-in firewall doesn't block Radmin connection. Open Start -> Control panel -> Windows firewall, go to Exceptions tab and add Radmin port 4899 as an exception. If you have a proprietary firewall (for example, ZoneAlarm or any other firewall software) refer to its documentation to find out how to create exception for a port.

7. On the local computer open Radmin Viewer, on the main menu click "Connection -> New connection".
