connecting wine to the internet

by **chris1950** » Mon Sep 07, 2009 4:59 am

I'm new to Ubuntu (three weeks) even newer to Ultimate Edition 2.3 (installed yesterday). Haven't used wine yet but want to install games that require internet access (WoW). can someone give me a step by step as how to do this? Have wine 1.0.1 but plan to install .27 or .29 any recommendations greatly appreciated.

Hello chris1950 welcome to the U.E Forum.

Here are 2 ways to try for you.

Try these:

See if the game has command line arguments that allows you to specify
the port. If it does, try a couple of different ports. (Ports in the
range of 10300 through 10399 seem to be pretty free and available in
the port scheme) By using a command line argument, you are telling the
game not to touch any default ports that it may use, and possibly wind
up freeing up the net problems.

If you cant change the ports it uses, then see if you can determine
what ports the game wants to use then check if there is a service on
your linux box already using it, that you could possibly dissable.

Also see if there is a command line argument that specifies which of
those protocols that you mention, to use. Its possible that telling
the game upfront in a command line argument would force it to
recognize the protocol.

The other thing I can think about is to allow port foreword from the modem/router,
you have to log in to your modem/router as Admin and to configure the ports for the games.

method 2 is out of the question as I am in china and can't get into the ADSL modem. My remedy was to buy a T-P Link Wireless router/modem. Which I can get into :lol:

. My plan is to get my laptop setup then my PC ( all using Ultimate Edition 2.3) then make a complete wireless system between all (wife's is Chinese XP windows but will also connect thru the wireless router).

Need to install FF and use as my browser - will it connect automatically?

China Telecom' ADSL Modem are locked by the Gov.

After I get my PC running Ultimate Edition 2.3 (installed a wireless adapter) I will use all my equipment, which I can control and manage until then am stuck using theirs. Going to play with Compiz settings while waiting for ans.

Hi,
Have you tried using wine-doors to load up games: Applications-System tools-wine-doors, not used it for this but have used it for other programs.
Other alternatives would be to use Virtualbox or dualboot windows and Ultimate Edition.

Due to government censorship regulations, doesn't China block access to certain servers/information? possibly game servers? Just throwing it out there.. :?:

Cheers.

¨If it aint broke, it don´t need fixing¨

Try the one that´s already installed. If it gives you grief, then move on up to the latest.

Cheers.
