First, put the CD in!
If you've already installed it, great. If not, go do that.
Then, do this on the command line:
To mount this image of the CD:
sudo mkdir /media/iso0
sudo mount -o loop ~/War2BNE.iso /media/iso0
Using winecfg, add a new drive that points to /media/iso0, and give it the type CD-ROM.
Finally, run Warcraft II BNE.exe in your program files and you're done! Whenever you want to mount it again, just do:
sudo mount -o loop ~/War2BNE.iso /media/iso0
When you're done and don't feel like keeping it mounted, just do:
sudo umount /media/iso0
If you have any issues still with Warcraft II complaining about no CD
being inserted, make sure the iso mount point you made is configured as
a CD-ROM device in winecfg, and make sure you have already mounted it
first!
~/wine/dosdevices should contain: (D being the drive letter of the iso image)
d\: (link to /media/iso0)
*ubuntu users can use the commands:
sudo apt-get install ipx; sudo modprobe ipx; sudo ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.2 0x12345678
(change eth0 for the name of your ethernet/wireless card)
The frame type (802.2) needs to be equal for everyone. It is
recommended to use ethernet II instead of 802.2. If playing with
computers with Windows, make sure their frame type is set to what you
have, and not 'automatic'. It may cause issues if you forget it.
