Positive. When I lived in the dorms of my college, I setup a Hamachi network for myself and all my colleagues so that we could easily distribute files between one another. I was behind a router, which was connected to the school's LAN. File speeds were fantastic, hinting that Hamachi was smarter than to use the internet to send the data first to the main Hamachi network then back to my colleagues, and vice versa. The speeds were comparable to those that actually spent to the time to create real VPNs to their computers, which were absolutely using the school's LAN.
Besides having difficulty with file permissions, I have never had files destroyed by Windows (while using file transfers). Something else foul was afoot I believe. I will give you that it seems convoluted at times after not using for a long time. But this is taken care of by just using some freeware like Cerberus, which sets up FTP transfers from your computer. Really nice- never need to worry about file permissions again.
