Or indeed more problems. I remember trying to get the original Doom working online with a group of friends at a LAN a few years ago. It was much easier to get it working on Linux via Wine than it was under Windows 7+ due to some old networking layer.

Could you give some more details? The first Doom, as well as Doom II and Quake (except for WinQuake) were DOS games? Or am I missing something.
