Once in on Hamachi, which function do we use to connect to the game? TCP/IP?

I'm in if I can find my LoD disc, and I'll play a Sorc specialising in Ice. No specific builds, just focusing on the Icy spells.

Yeah, TCP/IP is what you're looking for, using the host's Hamachi IP.

Anyway, will have to think about it. No idea what I'd be playing.

Also, how does uneven leveling/partying work in D2? If someone new joins at level 1 and hangs around a bunch of 15s killing stuff, what happens? Was there a level difference limit to doing that?

It looks like lower leveled players gain NO exp, which was the problem for Gale and heads.

I will personally help level up anyone who is too far behind

Also, if things keep up we're going to have way too many players.

Are there other people interested in hosting as well, that way we can have everyone play.

If anyone else hosts I'll make a host list on the OP

I started a new barb to help Head and we got him from 4 to 15 like everyone else.

Now both of my characters are in that level area.

If it's over TCP/IP, does one absolutedly need hamachi installed?

All notes point to yes.

I'd host but hamachi/tcp/ip doesn't seem to play nice when you're running other servers at the same time.

I think there's a certain amount it's scaled by, which they did to try to stop the phenomenon of "Rushing". There's a few level ranges where it's practical though, but if you're lagging too far behind you won't gain shit.
