Hi, I was setting up a game for my son using Cedega. The game installed, and successfully went to the net to download and install the updates. However, when we tried to get the Linux game to join a LAN session with the same game running on some Windows machines I got a message about not having a network provider. Since it can get to the Internet to download the updates I know it's not a hard networking failure. What is it?
What is the game? I think that's the most important information you could give.
In the past I've heard that some of these games use UDP instead of TCP. I was wondering where I configure a Gentoo machine to allow UDP traffic, preferably only on my local network if possible so that I could just see if this was the problem.
I don't think Gentoo default network config block anything. Its more likely to be blocked at a router or windows firewall (at your server machine). -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
