Ok, this is a known issue though not technically a Wine bug. Check http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-0344b4325219c69636aeffeaa3596d6855283afd
Sorry, but I'm a bit confused here. The link you give relates to configuration.
If I open Legacy, then click Internet/Check for Update, I get a dialog box. On the box there is a button to click to do the check. Also there are two other links shown. If I click the button to check for updates, An hourglass cursor appears, but eventually it times out and the dialog box is still there. If I then click either of the two links - See What's New or Legacy website - then the cursor is a bouncing ball and the connection succeeds almost immediately.
This, to me, doesn't look to be a configuration problem, but I'm open to be convinced.
