lans & linux
« on: 15 February 2003, 22:27 »
me and my friends have 'lans' often, but up till now, my main os has been windows. i have had problems using winex to run windows native games in linux, but that's not what my topic is about this time

what i want to know, is that if have my laptop with redhat8 networked with 3 or 4 winme/2k/xp machines (using samba, i guess), can i run, say, warcraft3 windows native and be able to play it with their windows machines?

LAN Parties rock. Wireless LAN parties in random places really rock.

I'm a Mac user, and most games play fine w/my Mac and other people's PCs.

WineX is a whole different story though.

Some digging on the Transgaming site gave me this:

You should be able to connect to a server under Linux...

nope, i'm a major procrastinator   :D  

plus, i can't connect to the internet on my laptop, so pritty much all i've done with my 5gb ext3 partition on my laptop since i've made that post was install slackware9 (which i'm going to install redhat9 as soon as i buy the boxed version of it).

also, i've never networked in linux, so i have a lot of reading to do before i even attempt to try to connect to a warcraft3 windows lan server from my linux computer...

if i ever get it working, i'll be sure to post it here, but "don't hold your breath"
