Additional Comments
You will need to install FireFox (or IEs4Linux, or any other browser) inside of wine FIRST. Then install Voobly. This will allow it to bind to the "voobly:\\" protocol and you can use the browser to connect to the lobbies. Make sure all games you are running are patched to latest versions. I have successfully played Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings, and Age of Empires 2: Age of Conquerors over Voobly. :-) Also make sure your distro is properly set to leave ports open or games won't launch even with DirectPlay DLL overrides. 47624 (DirectPlay), 2300-2400 (directplay). Ok enough talk, GL and happy gaming. ;D
