running diablo 2 LOD on wine version 1.0, not reading IP

[Lord Valuemart]

As I said, I'm trying to get Diablo 2 LOD to where it'll actually play TCP IP games via wine version 1.0 (on ubuntu 8.04, I almost forgot to add that little bit in there, and it's kind of necessary) But no matter what, when I enter the TCP IP game menu it shows my IP as the default 127.0.1.1 It doesn't show any errors or anything, except I can't host/join a TCP IP game. I know this is a bit of a noob question, but it's just not something I've ever had to tackle before. So, oh wise ones who probably know your shit better than I do, how do I go about getting Diablo 2 to read my IP address?

It isn't very necessary, unless you think that somehow a Ubuntu package is blocking WINE.

The fix (found with 5 seconds of googling) is to comment out the localhost entry in /etc/hosts.

You comment out a line by adding a # in the front of it, by the way.

Heh, that's actually the first thing I tried. I did get it working though, took a lot of mucking about in the network settings but I got it done. Edit: also if you notice, that link hasn't been updated since 04
