I think that's the most important information you could give. Sorry.

However the 4 Windows machines all connect to the LAN game just fine - 1 server and 3 clients - so any Firewall on the server is not hindering them - only the Linux/Cedega box. Note that the server, one Windows client and the Linux box that will not connect are all hard wired to the wireless router. Two other windows clients are on a local switch in my office and then running across a wireless connection to the wireless router. I'll do some Googling on the exact error message and see if I can figure out anything that way. Thanks for the info! Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
