Ok, so I had a sudden urge to start playing all my old games from the 90's again, I've been working with a game called Mechcommander Gold, I don't know how popular it was back then so you may not have heard of it. Anyway, it's source was released about 7 years ago, just useful side-fact. So one of the major problems people have with this game is that the network option seems to be unavailable to windows operating systems from win2k-xp so I decided to try it out on Ubuntu using wine just to see what happens. It ran absolutely flawless, no problems at all with all network functionality that I'm unable to get on my xp partition. I was just wondering if anyone knows of a quick explanation for this? because I've been trying to get that level of functionality on windows for forever and I achieved it in about 5min with wine and ubuntu.
