Hiding loopback interface from wine

Post by slowpokefarm »

I'm trying to debug a LAN game issue and from iphlpapi log it seems that the game uses loopback device listed as first ethernet in ipconfig to identify a player in lan lobby. Is there a way to hide it from wine? I can't delete in Ubuntu since there's no actual control over lo interface.

Do I have any control over network interfaces under wine at all?

Also worth mentioning that wine does not see the hardware address of that interface even if I set it in Ubuntu, which seems to be a bug.

Sorry, this might not be of any help. I do know that similar info is kept in the /etc/hosts file on some systems. My first line is
127.0.0.1 localhost
which is the same address used for loopback.
Hope you get some answers.

Hi there! Thanks for your reply! I have tried removing loopback addresses from hosts, but it does not affect the interfaces list under wine unfortunately.
