I spent most of the weekend trying to get Grand Prix Legends GPL to work. I achieved my first goal of getting it to run in server mode.
One of the things I needed to get the game to do, was to recognise that there where some interfaces it could talk TCP/IP out of. It took me some time to realise that under windows it was doing this by looking for the key
[System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans]
and was then enumerating the keys under it to establish an IP address ie the following
[System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\NetTrans\0000] "IPAddress"="10.0.10.100"
The thought occurred to me that maybe the tool the builds the registry during wine install could actually create these keys - since it is essentially a key part of the system (and other similar keys are also built in the same way).
I don't think I have the skills to do it myself yet.
