What works
Installation – Successfully installed from the 64bit installer provided by jkdf2.com
Single Player – Ran flawlessly (up to level 3, cause then I stopped playing)
Cutscenes – Also ran flawlessly
Mutliplayer – Hosting and Joining (only tested across a private network)
What does not
Switching between multiplayer levels – Aborting the game, or ending the level and waiting for the next level to load doesn't work. The game seems to be unresponsive after a level ends in multiplayer.
Multiplayer across private networks – using tcpdump and watching the logs on my router, communication was occurring on the correct ports. The hosted game simply could never be found.

Additional Comments
Wine 1.6-rc2 and rc3 seem to run the game the best. Using more recent versions causes some cutscene and menu glitches. Note on Installation: The .iso disks must be mounted to the D:/ drive for proper installation. This must be ensured in wine cfg > drives. Native DLL overrides as listed previously: (dplay.dll, dplayx.dll, dpwsock.dll, dpwsockx.dll). These dll files as well as dplaysvr.exe must be manually copied from Disk 1 into drive_c/windows/system32 folder.

To work around the menu problem, start the main application like this:
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/LucasArts/Jedi\ Knight/
wine jk.exe -windowgui

So, I followed instructions and opened JK using the -windowgui command in the terminal, but the join/host connection boxes were still empty. When I rolled the cursor over those boxes, there were sounds of items being encountered; but when I clicked on them repeatedly, I got a "Cannot connect to the network" error message. I also followed instructions and set all the required .dll files as native, and that didn't do anything, either. Anyone know how to fix this? (I use Lubuntu, if that matters.)
