Hi! I have a problem running an offline client for ordering photo prints from digital cameras. Even it is an "offline" client, it requires the computer to be online. It seems that in wine, it feels to be offline, thus refusing further operation with a dialog saying something like "Internet connection unavailable" and terminating. The machine is normally connected to the LAN with full net availability. The following is its full console log.
patrol@gonio:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/droxi/OfflineClient$ wine PhotoOfflineClient.exe fixme:wininet:InternetGetConnectedState always returning LAN connection. fixme:win:SetLayeredWindowAttributes (0x10030,0x00000000,255,2): stub! fixme:win:LockWindowUpdate (0x10028), partial stub! fixme:win:LockWindowUpdate ((nil)), partial stub! fixme:shdocvw:OleObject_Close (0x199510)->(1) fixme:wininet:InternetAttemptConnect Stub
I see two network related fixmes - the first one is very frequent but it seems harmless, many programs are able to use the net even they issue such a message. However, the second fixme looks more interesting, it looks like that the program tries to activate the internet connection, which is of course just a stub. Why is it doing so, I don't know. Is this information enough to find a problem (and maybe its fix) or is more debugging needed ? What else to try ?
