Just have, which worried me a little more... using the 5.x.x.x range - ok,
so it's not a range that's been give out yet, but it only takes a handful
to screw everything up.

In fact to quote:

"The Hamachi server issues a 5. ip that your machine statically and
permanently
and forever has, that's it's ip in this 5. address space, it never
changes"

In other words someone who is not authorsized to issue ip addresses is
doing so.

It explains why it uses a third server... but it makes it so much worse.
