This bug is confusing me. On one machine (FC5), everything works great. I can
even download a correct ie6sites.dat from server 207.46.198.30.

One another machine (FC4), things doesn't work good at all. *sometimes* a wget from
207.46.198.30 fails, sometimes not. Even more strange is that "wine ie6setup"
never even tries to contact MS server. I've verified this both with tcpdump and
using WINEDEBUG=wininet,winsock. On the working machine, I get:

fixme:ver:RtlVerifyVersionInfo (0x35087770,64,180000): Not all cases correctly
implemented yet
trace:wininet:DllMain 0x14870000,3,(nil)
trace:wininet:DllMain 0x14870000,2,(nil)
trace:wininet:InternetCrackUrlW
(L"http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6sp1/download/rtw/x86/ie6sites.dat" 72
80000000 0x35086c2c)

On the non-working machine, I only get:

trace:wininet:DllMain 0x61ac0000,2,(nil)
fixme:ver:RtlVerifyVersionInfo (0x7f8ae770,64,180000): Not all cases correctly

trace:wininet:DllMain 0x61ac0000,2,(nil)
trace:wininet:DllMain 0x61ac0000,3,(nil)

I've tested several versions of Wine. So, perhaps there are actually two
problems that causes this failure.
