You didn't configure your network interface to support IPX. A bit of text taken
from https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=149:

To get ipx network support, IPX will have to be enabled in the kernel, and you
need some userspace utilities, usually called ipx-utils; and IPX must be
started (there should be an initscript).

 *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.
