Bug ID: 42427
           Summary: Steam application claims no internet connection
           Product: Wine
           Version: 2.1
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

I tried many times but Steam doesn't load any page or install any game.

I'm trying to run with "WINEDEBUG=-all wine Steam.exe -no-cef-sandbox
-no-dwrite -tcp" (AFAIK cef and dwrite are already fixed and I could remove
them) I tried the combinations with/without each argument

To force Steam to install a specific game even without internet connection to
find it using Steam application, I ran "WINEDEBUG=-all wine Steam.exe
-no-cef-sandbox -no-dwrite -tcp steam://run/372000" and then the Steam
applications says it can't install without internet connection.

One strange thing is that I installed it and after the installation, the
application updates itself without problem

Also, I have libnss-mdns:i386 library installed and updated as I have mdns in
my hosts entry of /etc/nsswitch.conf file.

I tried with Windows 7 and XP (using winecfg, setting globally and specific to
the application as well)

$wine --version
wine-2.1

Installed the latest version through:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel

I searched for help on internet and on
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19444 , but I
didn't find a similar problem or a workaround

Anyone have a hint how I can get it working? Or how I can get the back trace to
help to investigate this problem?

Thank you all for the help

Kind regards,
Luan
