Hi, is there a patch anywhere, which will allow wine to reread the /etc/resolv.conf file.
Wine doesn't read the resolv.conf file, at all (ok, I didn't check, but I'd be very surprised if it did).
Wine uses bog-standard networking support APIs, there's no magic involved in connecting to the net.
As such the problem is probably that Wine makes use of an API that somehow doesn't take into account a changed name server configuration.
The best way to find out how Wine does name lookup in case of your application is to do strace -f wine ... &>/tmp/wine.log (hopefully no wrapper script will get in the way)
Then figure out why this API doesn't react to resolv.conf changes, if this is abnormal behaviour or if Wine should use a different method to do name lookup.
