wine users - Aug 2009 - Re: [SOLVED] C&C Red Alert 3 - Lan (and also hamachi) play

Code:
1. First establish a VPN. I use a bridged VPN set up with OpenVPN. It works
fine.
The VPN client created a tap0 interface with the IP 11.0.0.3.
2. Re-route packets for 255.255.255.255 to your VPN interface (Here tap0)
# route add host 255.255.255.255 dev tap0
3. In /etc/hosts, remove any reference to your hostname (TACHIBANA here) and, on
the first line, add :
11.0.0.3 TACHIBANA
4. Compile this little hack made by Raphael :
http://hughes.homelinux.org:8080/~raphael/bind_hack.tar.bz2 . On a 64 bits
machine, here's how I compiled this little hack :
$ cc bind_hack.c -o bind_hack.so -O2 -fPIC -Wall -shared -lc -nostdlib -m32
5. Launch RA3 with wine, while preloading this little hack.
/path/to/RA3$ LD_PRELOAD=/tmp/bind_hack/bind_hack.so wine RA3
6. Connect on the Lobby and check if you see your friends.
7. Create a game, let the users connect, choose their team, ...
8. Launch the game
9. Play
10. ?????
11. Profit ! 



Sorry for bumping this thread but, could you elaborate step 1?
I'm trying to set up a bridged vpn with openvpn

does it need ssl and such too?

The way you set up the VPN has nothing to do with Wine, I guess. I, for
instance, use hamachi as the 'VPN'. So this questions isn't wine
related and, even though I have never set up openvpn in my life, here's your

What this thing does is help Red Alert 3 find the other PC and actually connect
to it, due to differences in the way Linux and Windows do things. As far as Wine
is concerned, that's just another "interface".
