I was able to try and join a local server by going to the NS2 dir and typing "wine Server.exe & wine NS2.exe"
Then going to the console and typing "connect localhost"

partial working

Trying to run on 12.04 64bit.
In addition to the suggestion of memory size being 2048, enabling strict draw ordering enabled me to have a non-black screen. Still flickering, though.

Mouse Fix
by kantlivelong on Monday June 4th 2012, 15:02
It appears the game uses rawinput for the mouse by default.
Opening the game console ~ and typing "i_rawinput false" will fix the mouse.
I also uses the following config ( paste.ubuntu.com/1023845/ ) in "~/.wine/drive_c/users/USERNAME/Application Data/Natural Selection 2/system_options.xml"
Now i can join a game and see the UI but the video is dark and occasionally flickers to show everything.
connect - console

You can try to connect to a server, if you know the ip, with the "connect" command.
connect ip:port
It will attempt the connection. If it fails, it pops up a window, which you cannot exit out of because mouse clicks don't work in the main menu (possibly all menus?).
Unfortunately you can't bring up the server browser to find a game to connect to. ;-)
