My nephew was home last night and I couldn't play Starcraft with him because selecting UDP or IPX LAN games no longer works. When they're selected, a message box appears saying: Unable to initialize network provider I had the same issue in 0.9.11, 0.9.12, 0.9.13. I was able to play multiplayer LAN games previously, but I'm unable to say what version I was using at that time. I first thought I was related to the fact I switched to a wireless adapter, but the problem remained the same after re-activating my pci adapter. I'm on Fedora Core 4. Can anyone confirm this?

Forgot to CC list. Sorry.>Unable to initialize network provider > >I'm on Fedora Core 4. > >Can anyone confirm this? > >I run Wine 0.9.13, and UPD multiplayer works fine for me, using (what I believe) is the latest version of Starcraft. I have not tested previous Starcraft versions. IPX can only be used if the game is run as root. Networking was tested with two existing Wine installs, though I don't think that should matter. I have also updated Starcraft to the latest patch. I don't normally use IPX, but I have noticed selecting IPX and UDP currently produce the same result. What is your distro and kernel? We are two on FC4 experiencing the same result. Thanks! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
