Now, my office is using pc running XP sp3. While my sister using a laptop Mac Air. She usually work in outstation and need to extract some files from this office network pc.

I read about Hamachi and tried and have no freaking idea what izit about. I know the application capabilities, but no idea how to fix it.

It would be delighted if someone could show me step by step how to setup this networking.

Thanks in advance...

The MAC version must be installed manually and there is no graphical interface, the interface is like the Windows command prompt. You'd be better off with something like the built in Remote Desktop program in XP. Microsoft has a MAC download that interfaces with it.

Windows:
LogMeIn Hamachi is supported by Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista computers.
MAC
This is a fairly rudimentary version of Hamachi for OS X. It is a console package (no pretty GUI), it requires manual installation and depends on tunneling drivers by Mattias Nissler. See the README file for details.

Depends on the game - graphic won't be fast enough for most graphic heavy games. Half-life no, Solitaire would be fine.
