I first thought one needs to have an account in order to download the
installer, but apparently I can also just link there:

Oh, sure! Sorry. I will attach a log of WINEDEBUG='+winsock' on Spark.exe as
well as Spark.exe's and WINE's own STDERR output. It's all rolled into one
file, but the "trace:" at the start should make it easy to filter the winsock
bits.

I think we can see that gethostbyname() never actually returns null (if I read
this log correctly), so Earth Eternal should be happy, take the returned
hostent struct and cheerfully connect to the indicated server.
