it's still *almost* working. we could connect and authorise but still get a 
'no realms available' error. i did see on a forum that somebody had it 
going, but i haven't really looked into the setup that much so i don't know 
if it's something i've done wrong.

i find it's nicer to play on our gateway than to host tcp/ip games on my 
machine which is the gateway (and is therefore open to anyone who wants to 
connect to the game from the outside world) my machine is the better of our 
bunch and is therefore the host.

also we wanted it for lans where we could possibly have a central host 
machine that didn't require shouting across houses "what's the ip of the 
game? oi! what's the IP?!" :-)

u got diablo 2 going in wine yet? there's a HOWTO for it, and if i had 
better than a 400cpu i'd give it a show (might give it a shot anyway if i 
get bored this week's meeting)
