wine users - May 2012 - Did work home server software ethernet hardware and wine

Hi friends,

sorry for my english, it's school knowhow!

 I'll build a backup server in the moment. The next will be to upgrade the
backup server to the home server, because the server works nearly 24h per day
and 7 days per week. I found a excellent hardware gate (ethernet connection)
between home server software and the adapted hardware now. The producer is
contronics. But the software is written for Windows and i will build my server
with Debian or Ubuntu as OS. NOw my question.

Is it possible to get ethernet connections between the Windows software and the
hardware gate, and how I must configure it??

Thanks for your ideas!

Andreas

Sorry, can't quite understand you.  What app exactly are you trying
to use?  

But in general, one should not use Windows tools on Wine for
core operating system functions like routing.   Better to use native
tools.
