wine users - Dec 2001 - IPX support in Starcraft - Why can't I get it working?

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 thing. I compiled wine, and it says it finds "GNU style IPX
support".
I'm gathering that's a good thing.

Any ideas? I haven't seen many people commenting on this... I've been 
using WINE 20011108.

ps: If you have any suggestions to help debug this, please throw em this 
way.. I'm looking for some insight into this if possible, not necessarily 
just a fix.

The way I got Starcraft to work with IPX was by running Starcraft as root.
Also, make sure all workstations are configured with the same IPX network
address (i.e. 0x12345678).

You will have to setup som registry entries to make wine believe that
IPX is available. I did it once and it worked (as root), but I cannot
remember the changes.
