@Pavel Troller I've checkt the /etc/hosts now. You were right, it says
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost Zwirch
(With Zwirch the Name of this Computer)
But I can't just statically rewrite it, because I use DHCP. Also this is a fresh Ubuntu-Install, so I'm surely not the only Wine-User with such an /etc/hosts..

Hi! Yes, it uncovers even more problems with the /etc/hosts file on many distributions (hey, I'm sooooo happy that I'm maintaining my own private distro, independently of all the "big players" on the market :-) ). However, your link talks mainly about localhost.localdomain. I am even more strict and I'm saying that the host name also should not be there. And because I know that the host name should be assigned to EXACTLY ONE network interface, it is a reason that in my distro, when there are no public if's active, a dummy0 comes up and the host name is assigned to it. This if holds an address DIFFERENT from localhost (192.168.0.1 is used as a preconfigured default on a fresh install). Once more, please don't patch wine, it's evidently not its problem at all!
