[Wine] wine and Mankind (the one from www.mankind.net) - possible networking or file creation problem

[Georg C.F. Wolff]

Hello!

I am now trying for quiet a while to get Mankind running with wine.
I tried almost everything and read tons of wine's debug output - without
success (yet...).
The story in short: (also see
http://appdb.winehq.com/appview.php?appId=2409)
The game installs perfectly. It can be started. Its possible display
Mankind's news website within the client, but that doesn't have priority
for me (it doesn't change too often). The options menu is accessible.
When trying to connect to the game servers, Mankind checks for updates
first. This can't be disabled.
Networking seems to work with wine's built in ddls, it fails with a
native ws2_32. The ports Mankind is said use (from the forum on
Mankind.net) are 1804, 1977, 1901-1910 and 25000-25744 (updates). I also
told tcpdump to capture DNS-queries. The only packet that was sent is:

19:56:38.920044 IP (tos 0x0, ttl  64, id 38591, offset 0, flags [DF],
proto: UDP (17), length: 60) ***********.32860 > ************: [udp sum

0x0030:  0000 0000 0000 026e 7007 6d61 6e6b 696e  .......np.mankin
0x0040:  6403 6e65 7400 0001 0001                 d.net.....
 
That's ok. The server that distributes the updates is np.mankind. But I
don't capture any other packets. I would expect an attempt to connect to
it or any other of Mankind's servers.

This may also be related to some other thing I have noticed:

A note: .wine/dosdevices/c: is a link to ../drive_c where my fake
windows installation resides.

Mankind is unable to create the file Mankind.mip (purpose unknown). Wine
has sufficient permissions to do so.
The file Mankind.npr can't be found. Even if I create it before running
Mankind.
The question Im asking myself is: Is this a problem with the
DosPathNameToNtPathName/ReadFile/CreateFileW/... calls?

If anyone - probably with a lot more debugging experience than I have -
could help me or tell me where to look further, I'd appreciate very
much.
