install hamachi, and you can find it in filehippo.com. One of you must host the game. How to configure? Watch this video.

Minimize the game by pressing the ALT+TAB keys on your keyboard, DO NOT EXIT THE GAME or hamachi's ip will be gone. Reconnect your internet connection and give the game ip you when you create a new game in the online mode. That's it. Enjoy..
