[Bug 26759] New: SIV Fails to show Internet Access state - needs IsInternetConnected() from connect.dll - wine-bugs

Summary: SIV Fails to show Internet Access state - needs IsInternetConnected() from connect.dll Product: Wine Version: 1.3.17 Platform: x86 URL: http://rh-software.com/ OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ray@pobox.co.uk

For Windows Vista and later SIV should show the Internet access state, but this fails as it is unable to load IsInternetConnected() from connect.dll. I tried to get this to work by taking DLLs from W7 SP1 but was unable to get this to work. As I added more DLLs I got as far as:

err:module:import_dll Library API-MS-Win-Core-LocalRegistry-L1-1-0.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\home\ray\siv\nlaapi.dll") not found err:module:import_dll Library nlaapi.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\home\ray\siv\netshell.dll") not found err:module:import_dll Library netshell.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\home\ray\siv\connect.dll") not found

Currently all the DLLs are there, there are no error messages, but none of the DLLs load.

To show the DLLs loaded do Menu->Windows->DLLs by Name.

How would I hit this unimplemented function?

Just run SIV32X and if it's there SIV will call it. If you do Menu->TCP/IP->Proxy Config it will tell you more. See the attachment.

SIV 4.18 will be out tomorrow and has several wine related fixes.

I guess you are implementing it, will it be more than a stub?

SIV works fine without connect.dll and correctly reports the Internet connection and proxy details.

This couldn't be more invalid.

No, I generated the panel on a real Windows 7 system. On Wine SIV reports nothing about connect.dll and on the initial page there is a grey blob to the left of Processor with a tool tip that says "Internet Access Unknown for \<name>".

I was copying over the .DLLs to try and get this to work.

This screen shot was taken running Wine 1.3.17-275 and shows that SIV fails to correctly read the Internet Access State and as a result reports Unknown.

--- Comment #9 from Rafal Stanilewicz washuu@eastnews.com.pl 2012-02-11 13:03:42 CST --- I have wine 1.4-rc2 on Ubuntu 11.10 x32. Both SIV 4.17 (downloadable from http://www.mediafire.com/?1sta7dx5ue2rfrs ) and newest SIV 4.25 properly detect wine as a platform, and changes default behaviour.

I couldn't reproduce the error, I clicked the hidden button Over the "C" letter in "CPU-0" on the first screen and I got my proper network status in new window.

Please re-try the tests.

Pressing the button has ways worked the issue is that SIV fails to show the internet connection state. If you look at the screen shot in comment 7 Then you will see the button if gray. Once it's fixed it will be Green and there tooltip will he shown similar to as in the attached screen shot. Please post an image on the screen you see show includes the blob tool tip.

I have just tried with Wine 1.4-rc4-31-gf43f37d and looking at the [dll] section in the save file you will see SIV is still umable to load connect.dll and therefor unable to report the Internet COnnection state.

(FWIW, http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/net/base/network_change_notifier_linux... is how Chromium listens for the appropriate dbus events. Wine listens for other dbus events already in mountmgr.sys.)

How me I would much prefer the pataches I did to be taken on by a wine developer and actioned. In the end I gave up on them as "you know who" clearly did not wish to integrate them.

New subject: [Bug 26759] SIV (System Information Viewer) wants Vista+ connect.dll 'IsInternetConnected' for Internet accessibility check

Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net changed:

--- Comment #15 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,

refining summary to target the actual app.

Since it's a Vista+ API how is this supposed to work with Windows XP users (also Windows version of default WINEPREFIX)?

Clicking the button displays 'Internet IP and GEO location with status OK' (info gathered by different API/means) -> could be used to derive overall state without that Vista+ API.

MS doesn't make a guarantee for 'accessibility' of any Internet address using this API (as stated by MSDN), so I don't see the benefit over using old-fashioned methods which are backwards compatible to older Windows versions.

Regards
