    1. Select Network > Join an existing network.
    2. Type the network ID and password of the network.
    3. Click Join.

    If you created a network on the web, you find your nine-digit network ID by clicking Edit next to the network's name.

    On Linux

    1. Open the terminal.
    2. Execute the following command: 
      sudo hamachi join <network ID>
