When trying that, I get the same error described above. Code: ~/.wine/drive_c/Games/Sierra/LOMSE$ su - root wine ./lomse.exe Password: /usr/bin/wine: /usr/bin/wine: cannot execute binary file Since "-" and "-l" are the same, I tried "-l" also with identical results. You are right though, 1024+ are usable by normal users. I cannot understand for the life of me why they even bothered putting in IPX support if it's broken and useless. I am really aggaravated at the insane amount of trouble I am having with such a reliable protocol in Linux. I probably have around 30 games that rely solely on IPX for LAN games that will be unplayable if this can't be fixed. I love Linux, but with the alpha-state of the ath5k module being included in new kernels and this broken IPX crap, I am beginning to lean towards XP again. At least I can dual-boot 32bit and 64bit XP and use my games.
