Summary: /etc/hosts modification for DirectPlay Product: Wine Version: 1.0-rc1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dan_500@web.de
You need (amongst others) to modify /etc/hosts to play multiplayer with DirectPlay. You need to set your hostname to your local ip adress instead of the loopback address. You should come up with a good solution to this that doesn't require people changing their /etc/hosts file. It should work "out-of-the-box". Please!
