In fact my school doesn't use drcom to gain access to cernet. But I get a drcom client from my friend and it cannot run on wine,
But I am not sure whether this dr com need wpcap or not, If I found what is missing , I will email to devel to mention , Do you think it's useful
to add a bug report to wine, even when run this program(drcom) on wine dosen't produce any err output?

Maybe this work is not enough, What do you think add iphlpapi together with wpcap ? Or do you have any suggested programs that have enough work
to do during GSoC? Hopefully it's related to network ~
