Summary: Command and Conquer Generals listens to loopback for network connections Product: Wine Version: 1.1.17 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: cwadge@gmail.com

It seems that Command and Conquer generals listens only on the loopback address for network connections. As a result, network play is impossible. Strangely, sometimes you can actually see other games on the network, but you cannot join them. Even direct connections fail. When examining your own network settings, it seems bound to a loopback address (see screenshot).
