You are still using old Wine and you are not properly installing the program. To check Wine version run 'wine --version'.
AAMOF the output of 'wine --version' is:'wine-0.9.44'
Please take it to off-line to mailing list, forum, irc etc. This is place to discuss Wine bugs, not how to use it.
I first posted my question on 'comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine' on Sept 13 but got no answer. A google search showed a lot of same warning (use LAN connection/winsock instead) - most of them relating to the use of 'Agent' and no solution,AFAICR.
As far as your network problem goes you have to edit /etc/hosts and replace the second line with the output from the command:
echo "`hostname -i` `hostname --fqdn`"
/etc/hosts shows the correct values!
However, you say it's not a bug and I cannot but accept that. To me this only means that I'll continue to stick to old wine_0.0.20050310-1.2 that works wonderfully! Thanks, anyway, for your time up to now. 'Addio', Ennio.
