wine users - Aug 2008 - FS Host runs but can not connect connect flights

System Ubuntu 8.04 HH server with Ubuntu desktop (Gnome)
2X 1Ghz Pentium III processors, 1 Gb ram
Wine installed directly from the Ubuntu link version 1.0

Direct X installed per
http://www.wine-reviews.net/microsoft/directx-90c-march-2008-redistributable-on-linux-with-wine.html

Default all programs set to run as window 2000. 

DirectX runs with out a problem

FS Host 3.2 runs fine when you load it up but it will not connect players.
FS2004 can see a session on the server 
FS Navigator can not see a session on port 23432
The FS Host status page displays on the correct port 8080 on the lan and over
the internet.

If I test Direct play in Direct X it fails to connect to the other PC when I
host the test on the Ubuntu Server. When I set up the Direct Play test on the
Windows XP side the Ubuntu side connects and they can communicat with no
problems.

Both computers are connected by a simple Netgear switch 192.168.10.xxx 

Both systems have thier firewalls turned off for testing. 

Testing of an internet connection will not commence until I get it working on
the lan.

Any help is appreciated

Other notes there is no sound card in the server (its a server)

After furture testing i have determined that the problem is Direct Play.

In the Network tab in the DirectX Diagnostic Program there is a "Test
Direct Play" button. If I launch the test on my Windows PC and host the
session there it works. The Directx Diagnostic program connects from the Ubuntu
server running Wine and both sides can communicate messages to and from.

However when I host the session on the Ubuntu server the windowsPc can see the
session but never connects to it.

When I run Wireshark on both PC's I see the traffic and communications from
both PC's even when they will not connect.

I have followed the suggestions from here http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlayGames
and no joy.

I really feel that because I can see both sides talking when they do not connect
that it is real close to working but I just don't know what is stopping it.

No Joy  [Crying or Very sad]

 :(

you should copy dpnet.dll from a windows-partition into
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/

Did you do that? 

It should look like

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dpnet=n" regsvr32 dpnet.dll
