online gaming via cedega (problem with uo)


hello i have cedega 5.1, i have installed ultima online: Samurai Empire without any problem, but i couldnt run the UO.exe , when i try to run a windows opened and closed immediately, i think if i tweak some options i may be ok, bu when i want to run uopatch.exe (which patches the game) i see that uopatch.exe cannot reach the internet, should i do any extra work for internet access? i have adsl connection without dialing aything.
ps: dont have point2play
thanks.

How can you not? Since Cedega 5.0 it is all one package, if you type in 'cedega' you get a GUI.

Big-fat-shot-in-the-dark here, try setting in your /etc/hosts file your computer and the IP address it currently has, before the local host line (AKA 127.0.0.1):

Code:
# /etc/hosts
# Do not edit (or something along those lines)
<your_ip_addr> localhost      localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1      localhost      localhost.localdomain
If your computer has an alias to whatever name your machine has, put that as the first alias instead of "localhost" and as second (this is recommended anyway) put "localhost".

As I said this is a big-fat-shot-in-the-dark as this does work for Diablo when trying to access the internet through TCP/IP network play (otherwise the button will be grayed out).

Warning: This change will make some functions on your computer to act erratically (most notably printing services), so you are best off to place a comment hash mark (#) before the line you added to avoid said problems. I guess you could also solve this situation by having a properly setup local DNS server (by local I mean local to your network) so your machine name could be resolved through this DNS, but I have not been able to fully try this. Needless to say your machine name in your computer and the name in your DNS server has to match (or should match) as that relates somehow.
