wine users - Sep 2008 - Ares and connection problems

Having installed Ares from Gecko, and configured my firewall to allow port
access, it still refuses to connect. Is there something I'm not doing? (I am
running OpenSuse with wine-doors)

The AppDB says the Windows version has to be set to Windows 98.
