Hi Everyone, I was hoping to get this working for Thanksgiving Holiday but had some issues with getting LAN game going. Want to introduce some family to some of the best RTS games of all time. So I'm hoping to figure this out before Christmas.

Tiberium Sun and Red Alert 2 run fine under Wine, the problem I'm having is getting a LAN game setup, here is what I have done.

I have connected to laptops running Ubuntu 14.04 directly and also using a hub. At this point I would prefer the hub just because if I wanted to add another laptop for additional players.

I've disabled the firewalls on both laptops, given laptop#1 IP address 192.168.1.1 and mask 255.255.255.0, laptop #2 192.168.1.2 and mask 255.255.255.0

I'm able able to successfully ping the machines by the IP addresses I have manually given them.

I've added the IPX patch and set the override in winecfg and I'm able to see the IPX settings screen with 00 00 00 00: 00 00 00 00 00 00

So when I get to to the LAN Screen I only see myself and not the other machine/player. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been looking at this for a few days now and I have not been able to resolve this issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm running wine 1.7.55 for Tiberium Sun.

Ok folks, this issue is officially resolved!! After several days of trying to figure this out. Someone in another forum was kind enough to point out that my manual configuration for the 2 linux laptops to be on a LAN was incorrect.

Keep in mind, I'm using a 5-port hub with no Internet connectivity, just the 2 laptops (Ubuntu 14.04LTS) connected by a hub. You still need Wine, Tiberium Sun, and IPX networking patch.

This is how to correctly manually setup your laptop/desktop for LAN connectivity/gaming:

Local config will be setup as:

IP: 10.0.0.#
SM: 255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.111.1

Each computer will have a unique last octet:

10.0.0.1
10.0.0.2

Adjust the following above to however many machines your using. If you are running a firewall on your machines, it will not work. If you take down your firewall it work, however I know that its not a secure option if you have internet traffic coming in. So what you can do is listen to whatever port "wine-preload" (protocol = UDP) is active on and allow that port through your Firewall and you should be good to go.
