similar to: Red Alert / Red Alert II / Tiberium Sun: Overriding wsock32.dll to avoid IPX

Hello, I have installed C&C: Red Alert 2 in Ubuntu. Now I want to play in a network. I have already put the wsock32.dll [1] into the game directory and have set up an overwrite rule for wsock32 in winecfg. It should replace the IPX protocol with UDP protocol. Now there is a network card shown in the settings [2] and the network menu opens ingame now. I have set up Red Alert 2 on different

Using posix file capabilties you can give wine only root permissions for creating raw sockets. A lot of distributions are doing something similar these days for ping which also required complete root permissions before.

When I worked on Wine's ipx code for Red Alert and friends posix file capabilities weren't around yet. I haven't used them yet. You can find info about it on http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-posixcap.html I think that you need to set the property on wineserver.

Hi to everybody, I'm writing to ask your help in playing LAN games with Red alert 2. some data: I'm using wine 1.2.1 on Ubuntu 10.04, with kernel 2.6.32-27-generic the game is Red alert 2, with patch 1.006. What I would like to do is playing LAN games, using the UDP patch given at understorm at http://www.understorm.net/downloads/ts_ra2_lanpatch_1_00.zip What I made is copy the

RA2:YR is a 2D game - I think it probably uses DirectDraw. It runs slower with 0.9.16 and now the in game cursor flickers. Besides minor audio problems it ran fine in 0.9.15. I tried setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D\DirectDrawRenderer to "gdi". It made no difference. Is that the corrent way to turn off the new DirectDraw changes?

Hi, I've just finished to download wine (Wine-20031118.tar.gz) and I'am trying to play IPX Network Game (Red Alert 2) I bring up the ipx interface: ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.3 0x0000001 (copy the number from Windows...) And I try run the game... but it always says that IPX is not avaiable. I'm running Mandrake 9.1 What am i doing wrong? Any Hint? Thx

I've searched the forums for AMD64 and IPX but couldn't find a solution here. I am running Debian Lenny 2.6.26-1-amd64 on an AMD Turion 64x2 1.60GHz system with 1GB of RAM. I have Wine running and it runs my older games just fine (this is a laptop with an ATI1100M so no new games here!) but it doesn't seem to work with IPX. I installed the IPX tools package and ran the commands

Hi, everyone! Can someone tell me why after configuring our Win95 clients as Samba clients (using tcp/ip and Microsoft Network) all browsers as well as ftp complain that there is no socket connection or that wsock32.dll is not available? Samba as well as email works fine and I did not have this problem with Win98 clients. The clients I am talking about use older versions of Win95. Earlier

I am struggling with the simplest thing, I think! I am starting with a fresh config file from the 20020605 wine distro and trying to get the ARS Remedy User win32 based software running. Part way through the install it tell me I need to install "Winsock 2". By this I am assuming it is looking for the 32-bit winsock Dll's, wsock32.dll * ws2_32.dll. I have tried many variations of

Hi, I am currently using a hp mini, and my wine version is 1.0.0. I am trying to install Command and Conquer: Tiberium Dawn from the official website, and run it on ubuntu karmic using wine. When I tried it last night, I ran into the installation error: "Unable to locate necessary files. Please run setup.exe from the CD-ROM disc". Apparently others have run into this error, as it is

Hello, I maintain Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars in the AppDB. While the sound seems to work fine for many users (including me), some are reporting extreme slowness if sound is enabled. At least one of those with problems is using an Intel 82801 chip. I've tested that on 2.6.16 and 2.6.22 kernels and no matter what I do the sound plays fine, even with HPET and RTC disabled.

I've just tried to launch RA2 using wine, with great success: it ran perfectly and fast at the first try. However, the mouse is screwing around. If I run as root, everything works fine, but the mouse pointer is invisible. I can move it around and control the game blindly, but that isn't really fun. If I run as a user, the mouse pointer is there, but RA2 doesn't recognize the mouse

I can't seem to get IPX going in Starcraft. It gives me "Unable to initialize network provider" in a pretty dialog box (as per usual). I have IPX in kernel, the interface configured for 802.2 frame type, and some IPX RIP/SAP daemon going. The kernel's IPX is configured without the "Full internal IPX network" thing. Apparently (from my reading) this would be a bad

Hi, i have installed Tiberium Sun successfully and everything and i rightclick the autorun.exe and open with wine and it is fine, it opens up the screen and i click "play" and it just turns off completely without a warning or error or anything ... can anyone help? i am using ubuntu intrepid by the way, and wine version 1.0.1 Louise x

I followed the entire Starcraft/WinE HOWTO located at http://koti.mbnet.fi/~hoppq/sc-howto.html Starcraft now works just fine, except the Local Area (IPX) part doesn't work. My interface (eth0) is configured as follows: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:04:82:F7:A7 inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 IPX/Ethernet 802.3

I would like to add my case for a wish of IPX support in Samba: We use a number of CNC tool machines whose host is pure DOS based. Don't be surprised that DOS is stilll running somewhere. It is fairly OK when we get to the field of HW and real-time control, unlike Windows and the like... These hosts use IPX to access LAN shares. IPX is here preferable to TCP/IP because of its lower memory

ok I've got Starcraft loaded in wine...works fine ;-) I have IPX installed within the kernel.. and have the following commandline.. modprobe ne2k-pci ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.3 0x12345678 but it seems that Starcraft cant see the IPX thingo..err anyone know how to get starcraft to

I test one application, which require IPX. The matter is I don't know source of failure - application itself, Wine or software misconfiguration. Is there an useful IPX utility to test network inside Wine ?

Hi All, I have installed Atomic Bomberman as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Atomic_bomberman When I connect 2 PC's running linux via networkcables and a switch, IPX works perfectly. I start the game on both PC's, set PC A to "Start Network game" via IPX, and PC B to "Join network game". Now PC B can see the game of PC A, connect to it, and then
