--- Comment #2 from Kai Blin kai.blin@gmail.com 2008-05-15 18:14:47 --- The 127.12.34.56 IP you see is us trying to work around your distro giving a loopback address for your hostname, which some windows games don't like. Try changing your /etc/hosts file to point to your network IP instead.

worked fine.
anyways windows has the loopback entry in its hosts file too and only the loopback entry. so something is not behaving as it should

That's because Windows generally ignores the host file and gives you the IP address of the last interface that came up, whereas Unix systems always check the hosts file. This is very, very hard to work around and also only creates problems for applications that use gethostbyname( gethostname() ) to figure out their IP address, which is a bad idea even on Windows machines, as this will break if you have a multihomed host and the interface you don't want to use came up last.

--- Comment #7 from Juan Lang juan_lang@yahoo.com 2008-05-20 14:34:34 --- Okay, I found a downloadable demo. The one on the Sierra website is missing.
You say that you can't select another interface to use. These are the steps I use: 1. Choose 'Multiplayer Scenarios' at the main menu 2. Click the 'Other Multiplayer' button 3. Select the 'Options' tab 4. Click the 'Choose Network Adapter...' button
As you say, the first entry in the dialog that comes up has name '<Default>' and an empty IP address. I'm not sure that's a bug--does it do the same on Windows?
The next entries have names of '<unknown>', and the correct IP address of each adapter. I have two Ethernet adapters, and each is listed. The loopback adapter is not listed.
I can select either of the Ethernet adapters and click the 'Activate' button.
So I think your original bug, detecting the wrong interface IP, was the result of a bad configuration. I can't reproduce not being able to select a different interface.
The '<unknown>' adapter name is a bug, but a minor one. Unfortunately there's no iphlpapi component: it's a result of the Description field being left empty in GetAdaptersInfo.

--- Comment #11 from Juan Lang juan_lang@yahoo.com 2008-05-20 17:13:40 --- That's the case in Windows too, I just checked. I also checked the '<Default>' entry in Windows: it also has an empty IP address. So the only bug left is that adapters have a name of '<Unknown>' in Wine, for which I've sent a patch.
Please don't waste our time with bogus complaints. A behavior is only a bug if it behaves differently in Wine than in Windows.
