Background: Red Alert / Red Alert II / C&C / Tiberium Sun uses IPX for LAN play. According to AppDB, this works, at least for Red Alert II (Orginal RA is not on the first page of Google results...), but it requires Wine to be run as root. Since I do not have IPX installed and I'm not normally in a mood to recompile my kernel, and the Windows users that I want to play against do want to

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.

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

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'm trying to get LAN play working with Warcraft II BNE. As many of you know, W2BNE is so old that LAN play is done through IPX networking. I realize there are instructions for installing IPX on Linux, but I'm using Mac OS X, for which there are no IPX solutions. However, I have found that there is now a (Windows) winsock wrapper that tunnels IPX packets over UDP called IPXWrapper

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.

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 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

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, 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

Hi, i try to install the demo version of "battle for middle earth II" with wine-0.9.26, but without success so far... 'WINEDEBUG=+all wine nzd_bfme2demo_english_final.exe' gives a rather short log (172ko) but probably too large to be sent to the list. A snipet of the very end of the log says : 0009:trace:nls:WideCharToMultiByte cp 0 L"Invalid parameter\n\0000" ->

Hello, I've been trying to compile Wine on Cygwin with the idea of running Windows apps through an X server. I've had mixed success. Short story: This is a picture of Wine's notepad.exe running on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and displayed on my Cygwin/X server. I tried to display it remotely - obviously it works. There are some major problems, but I do believe that somebody who knows

Hi all, I happened to be reviewing a Linux web site that I frequent (http://www.pclinuxonline.com/index.php) and noted today an entry for an article on R at IBM's developerWorks Server Clinic site located at http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-sc16.html. I thought that I would pass this on as an FYI. Regards, Marc Schwartz
