Old School: WC3TFT + wine cant connect to battle.net

[ferrettmerr]

Hey all,
I want to eliminate all need to boot up Vista, as it is a pain in the rear. I Have wine(installed today) using apt-get and a working/patched install of TFT copied directly from Windows.

I can boot it up perfectly, but when i go to connect to Battle.net, it just says connecting to battle.net and never ends.

I have done a ton of research on google, on this site, and even under cedega.

Thank you,
~ferrettmerr
