Hi,
On Windows 8, the dpnet are failing with a timeout.
I don't see a timeout for either the dpnet:peer or dpnet:server tests:
http://test.winehq.org/data/tests/dpnet:peer.html http://test.winehq.org/data/tests/dpnet:server.html
In fact it's green on all Windows platforms for the past 12 runs. Kudos!
After manually running the tests, I found a possible cause.
The dpnet.dll cause the dpnsvr.exe to be loaded which attempts to create a socket. In turn the firewall dialog appears prompting whether it's allowed to do so. So no communication between the dpnet test exe and dpnsvr.exe thus the timeout.
Could someone run the dpnet test manually and allow the dpnsvr.exe to create connections?
I have run both tests manually on my Windows 8.1 laptop. On the first run the dpnet:server test caused the firewall dialog to pop up but that did not stop the test and it completed almost immediately. A number of other tests cause the firewall dialog to pop up but I believe that as long as the connections are to and/or from the localhost, the firewall lets them through and so does not cause trouble.
