I'm trying to run a hamachi setup so I can play games with my friend while I am at school behind their firewall, but every time I start hamachi it gives me a new ip address. Eventually, the network I created fills and I have to create a new one. Is there a way to make the IP address not renew every time I start hamachi so that I don't have to keep making new networks?

you'll most likely find the answer in the hamachi FAQ or their forums, maybe hamachi is designed this way?

Nah, I looked there already. The only thing relevant is in the quote below, but I couldn't figure out how to apply that to Arch. Does it involve setting up network profiles?
Mandriva 2006: change file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ham0 line BOOTPROTO=dhcp to BOOTPROTO=no. This prevents Hamachi from getting a new IP every time you login. This is for 2006 only, 2005 is not affected.

if hamachi allows you to set a static ip address, then you can set it up. from here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hamachi i was able to find that you need to run tunecfg, maybe it has settings for dhcp, if so, you should remove it and set the static ip address + gateway yourself.

Unfortunately, tuncfg is just a wrapper to prevent hamachi from accessing other parts of the system (since it is run as root).
Edit: I think I got it. The hamachi-init script was running every time I started hamachi and making a new address. I just stopped using hamachi-init then.

have u tried to disable/remove dhcpcd, this will stop the interface from acquiring the ip settings from the hamachi dhcp server, and then you can set those settings with ifconfig + route, check and see if hamachi works in this config.
