Bug ID: 58395
           Summary: SimCity 2000 Network Edition doesn't allow starting a
                    game.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 10.10
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: dplay

Internet TCP/IP Connection For DirectPlay console log.
When using a clean prefix in Wine 10.10, attempting to start a new game in
SimCity 2000 Network Edition doesn't work.
Console log complains that there are no dplay service providers registered,
despite the Connection Method dialog showing multiple dplay transports to use.
Selecting the "Internet TCP/IP Connection For DirectPlay" or "Serial" option
causes the game to spawn it's server process which then fails after displaying
the error dialog: "Failed to initialize DirectPlay." Exiting the server app
causes a segfault.
Selecting the "Internet" option causes the the game to spawn it's server
process which then locks up after throwing a seh error in the console.
Requiring it to be killed manually.
Selecting any other option causes the same behavior as the "Internet TCP/IP
Connection For DirectPlay", with additional error messages for unavailable
networks. (I don't have an IPX or Modem connection to test with.)
Console logs attached.
