Well :-/,

it still doesn't work on win32.
One main-problem is, that network is normally initalized with 
"localhost", but under win32 "localhost" isn't defined, so widelands 
does not start a network connection, while "127.0.0.1" as loopback does 
(testet both with firewall and only with loopback widelands tried to 
start a network connection.

Okay, so I startet a network game and startet a second client on the 
same PC. But I just couldn't find the game of the server. (I tried both 
127.0.0.1 and localhost)
So it seems as if servers can't be found under windows for any reason... :-/

Anyone an idea?



Wish you all a happy new year :-)!
