That's because there is (almost) nothing left to configure. wine uses
the standard Un*x APIs for networking and that's it.
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.
