Multiplayer
To get multiplayer working, you need native directplay dlls. The old howto had a link pointing to outdated directplay dlls which cause problems with wine and generally don't work as expected. However with the latest dplay from DirectX 9.0c multiplayer is (almost - see note for details) flawless.
In the wine wiki is described how to get native direct play dlls.
Personally I would recommend using winetricks directplay which installs dplay dlls and sets overwrite in winecfg, however you may choose do install manually those files in which case you need to:
You can now play Heroes 3 in HD, utilizing the full size of your screen, thanks to Heroes3HD mod. It doesn't change anything gameplay wise.
With recent Wine releases, Wine prefixes are set to Windows 7. Currently, it causes rendering issues when HD or HD+ mod are installed.
Running winecfg
and setting the Windows version to Windows XP solves the rendering issues.

The normal GOG install without the mod works without any problems.

Second, if I disable the VPN it always use 127.12.34.56 address on mac
Third, (after I added both client and server to the VPN and both client and server thus show IPs from the same subnet) the client always says "IP was not found".
Forth, if I try to "rehost" as said in notes, the game hangs. On mac & linux.
