All,
There seems to be a compatibility issue between Avast and Hamachi.
I’ve post the details on the Hamachi forum, but heres a copy:

All,
Might work for some, but I found one of my PCs was having trouble connecting, and identified the cause back to Avast.
Symtoms:
- From hamachi I keep getting a “connection to mediation server was unexpectedly disconnected” message.
- Task Manager showed that ashServ.exe had a higher than normal usage of the CPU
- My firewall s/w showed the TCP connections to bibi.hamachi.cc were ok, and by-directional.
I experiemented with switching off each scanner within Avast, and located that it was the Standard Shield causing the issue.
I tried adding c:\program files\hamachi\hamachi.exe to the Advanced “exclude” list, but it didn’t work.
Solution (for me): Was to add c:\program files\hamachi*.* under Standard Shield → Customise → Advanced → Locations in Avast. Now it connects fine.
My versions:
XP Home SP2
Avast Standard Shield: 4-7-844
Hamachi 1.0.0.60 (and .61)
Hope this helps…
