Hi! Im new in this forum. I have similar problem. I want to play in LAN with a windows xp pc.

Wine: 1.1.17
Linux: Kubuntu 8.10

Hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 user

When I open the multiplayer window I can see myself twice from my pc and i can see the windows user. We can talk. But when i create the game in linux pc, the windows user can join, but in few seconds connection fails :S
If windows user creates the game, i cant join, always connection timed out.

It s strange, because we can speak in the chat, but after the windows user joins in my game.. it fails. Any solution? Thank u, and sorry for my bad english, im spanish

If it was not pointed out to you, your Linux system and the Windows PC
have to be on a routable IPspace.

I recommend using 192.168.1.x (0 is network, 1 would be your Linux PC,
2 would be the Windows PC.)

You can try this, or check multiple solutions on the bug report URL I posted here. Lan play seems to be different from online play and you might have luck. With hamachi, however, no matter what I do it'll always fail.
