Hi, after searching all the sources I knew so far, there seems to be no advice for configuring internet access for wine. Must obviously be too streamline to bother about... ;-) I'm running a program on wine that tries to update via internet without bringing any configuration tools for this task itself. I assume that on native win it reads system settings. And on wine, the update process fails with a message indicating on missing access. What would be the best way for purely configuring internet access in this case? Is there any tool for wine or a simple native app on win recommended for this task? Any hint or pointer to some page dealing with this task highly appreciated. Frank

What is left is the configuration of a proxy for e.g. http. HOWTO: $ wine regedit Open the key Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings Create a new DWORD called "ProxyEnable" and give it the value "1" Create a new String called "ProxySever" and give it the value "your.proxy.here:port" That should do the trick. If not, provide us with a WINEDEBUG=+wininet trace. Daniel -- Before you post: Read the Wine User Guide http://winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/index When you post: Which wine version?
