wine users - Aug 2009 - Wine close while trying to activate my software

I have install Harper's Shorter in Wine.  Everything went fine.  The first
time you launch the software, you need to activate it.  This is done through
internet.  When I click on "activate now", Wine's windows simply
close.

The activation process seems to be done by a third-party company.  It's
"StarForce copy protection system".

Does Wine knows to use internet automatically or do I have to tell him?

IF you have any ideas or need more informations,

Mario

Your problem is not connecting to the internet, it's the StarForce copy
protection, which doesn't work in Wine.
