wine users - Sep 2008 - Getting Ruckus to Work (And Internet for that matter)

Hi, I tried installing Ruckus on my Ubuntu (newest version). For those of you
not familiar with ruckus, it is like an iTunes thing for College Students which
allows us to download music legally. Anyways, once installed, I tried to sign in
on it and it said the following:

Cannot connect to the Ruckus server:
Error: A security error occurred (12175).

Please check your firewall settings to verify that Ruckus is allowed to make
outgoing connections.


After this error, I also tried to make some sort of a connection with Wine to my
other hard drive which has Windows XP installed on it. I want to be able to use
my library on the windows partition but I don't know how to make the
relation between that petition and the "virtual" petition that Wine
made.

Any help would be appreciated :-D

Ruckus uses Windows-only DRM.

You could try installing Windows Media Player.

Don't.
