hi there, i have gotten Grand Theft Auto (which is available free for download at http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/gta.htm) working well under wine. there seems to be a "network play" option which should automatically detect TCP/IP availability. unfortunately the game thinks i am on a standalone machine when in fact i am on a DHCP served LAN. this makes me think either wine does not yet support the networking mode for this game, in which case asking for advise is a lost cause, or that i have not enabled TCP/IP. preferring the latter situation, i searched the docs on how to enable TCP/IP networking under wine, but am no wiser. could anyone please advise me on how to set up TCP/IP? i do not have a windows partition, and all my networking is running fine for my "Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable/experimental" system. cheers, Sam -- Free High School Science Texts http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/fhsst Sam's Homepages http://fommil.homeunix.org/~samuel http://www.ma.hw.ac.uk/~samuel -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Wine automatically uses your tcp/ip connection, no configuration is needed. So chances are that wine doesn't support the networking mode your games uses. You may want to open a bug report about this. Ivan.

Can we have the output of your application with --debugmsg +winsock please? Rein. -- Rein Klazes rklazes@xs4all.nl
