Lotus Notes in Linux (Update)

Update on running Lotus Notes on wine. Currently on wine 0.9.9 and running notes. Copied over an installed, but not configured, instance of notes (6.5.4) to my .wine directory. Ran winecfg and set the nlnotes.exe file in the Application Settings to run as Win 98, also configured the usp10 to native in the Libraries tab.

This got wine up and running. But after I configured notes and got it running as I liked, the next time I started up notes it would half sometime after my login. I tried many fixes, but it seems the solution ended up being disabling my LAN01 configuration, see post below from CodeWeavers form:

Hangs if LAN0 is enabled and search for server (Score: 3)

Since Notes searches for new servers using the ports in alphabetical order, it will try LAN0 first if it's enabled. This causes the Notes Client to hang until you run the Terminate Windows apps command.

I had not noticed this before since I usually clean up the ports settings when I install and I have connection docs to all servers.

I was opening a database that was not local any more and the Search for database dialog came up. I mis-keyed the server name and found the clien was hung. In the status bar you could see "Searching for local on LAN0"

make sure you have only the TCPIP Port enabled !!
