-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I searched the archives but I didn't find a solution to these two problems: After upgrading to the latest Wine version (0.9) I am finally able to play one of my all time favourite games under Linux: Settlers of Catan. A big, big "Thank You" to the developers for that! :-) Unfortunately the game doesn't recognize the network yet, so I'm unable to participate in (or start) a multiplayer game. When run under Windows the game offers to use either directplay, ipx or tcp/ip. When run under Wine that list of network protocols is empty. Network does work, though: Firefox (Windows version) runs perfectly under Wine. It is just the game that can't see any network. Is there any chance to enable the game's network ability?
I might be able to help with this first one. I had similar problems trying to run a Descent 3 server on my FC3 machine. It turned out to be the fact that wine seems to be VEEEEEEERRRRY strict about trying to use ports that are already in use. Try these: See if the game has command line arguments that allows you to specify the port. If it does, try a couple of different ports. (Ports in the range of 10300 through 10399 seem to be pretty free and available in the port scheme) By using a command line argument, you are telling the game not to touch any default ports that it may use, and possibly wind up freeing up the net problems. If you cant change the ports it uses, then see if you can determine what ports the game wants to use then check if there is a service on your linux box already using it, that you could possibly dissable. Also see if there is a command line argument that specifies which of those protocols that you mention, to use. Its possible that telling the game upfront in a command line argument would force it to recognize the protocol. I know that under Windows you have to add IPX as a protocol. I wonder if you have to do that as well under wine. (actually if someone knows I would like to know that one myself since I could indeed find that valuable in the future) _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
