This might be a silly question, but did you check to see if games with plain Diablo work or have the same problem? I've played Hellfire over Hamachi before and didn't have this problem, but recall having it once with vanilla Diablo, so I'd suspect it's not Hellfire but perhaps your IPX configuration. If Diablo has the same issue then you know it's not Hellfire. Hooray for the process of elimination.
If you find Diablo has the same problem, I'd double-check IPX configuration. Make sure the "Network number" property of the NWLink IPX/SPX etc. protocol is unique to each connection on both machines, i.e. Local Area Network is 00000001, Hamachi is 00000002.
I didn't read the guide you mention but I assume it said you should change the Frame type from Auto-detect to either Ethernet 802.2 or Ethernet 802.3, I'd try connecting once with both of them - 802.2 works for some games, but not others where 802.3 does. I think 802.2 worked for me for Diablo.
Hope that helps even if it's a bit late.
