Thanks for the information...I also just finished reading Bug 9787 which also gives some more info regarding AcceptEx patch and Winsock component...which could be our solution...since we both are now running Linux and Wine. However, I'm a little confused regarding Wine releases...and hoping someone can clarify...as the current stable release is 1.2.2. Is there information out there that gives a time frame of when Wine 1.3.x will be released as stable?? Have Wine developers entered into a code freeze for Wine 1.3.x? and if so how long after the code freeze can users expect the stable release? The reason why I'm asking is that I'm debating if I should try installing a development release of 1.3.x, since I'm not sure of when a stable release 1.3.x will be ready...if the release is nearing soon...it might be worth the wait...but since I'm not sure can some please clarify. Thanks!!!
