wine users - Aug 2010 - Can I run program that needs to open a port?

Hello everyone,

I have to following problem (I think...).
My program I wish to run (http://www.fujidirekt.se/fotobok/FujiDirektSE.exe)
installs perfectly.
When I start the application it will try to autoupdate itself which fails due to
what I suspect to be an attempt to open a connection over a port that is blocked
by my Ubuntu 9.10 installtion.
The same thing happens when I try to create a new photobook (some less important
functionality).
Is there some way which I can allow for wine to use this port on my
Ubuntuinstalltion so the program will function?

(Please forgive me if this is a duplicate post, I have really tried to
browse/googlesearch the forums and maillists to avoid it).

Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter!
With kind regards

Yes, online applications work in Wine, so the problem must be somewhere else.

Before everything else, are you sure it's Wine failing and not the server
being offline or anything?

If you're sure it's a Wine problem, try running from a terminal and post
the output here (http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log).

If you are using Bastelle or ipfilters, then it probably is blocked.  
You would have to determine the source/destination port and then open 
the Linux firewall to allow access.  This is described quite well in 
your distros documentation and on the web in several places (Google is 
your friend for this.)

My friend can confirm that it works under windows XP just a moment ago.
I guess I will have to try figure out what port the program is trying to connect
to as my next step?

I don't see that this could be a wine-related issue if it is Ubuntu that is
"blocking" the port requests.
Sorry for posting it here however it might be useful to some user less
experienced such as me as there must be people with similar problems.

If your app is trying to listen on a low port number it might need
some playing around with permissions / be run as root to work...

Thank you everyone for your help and ideas!

When I run the program in Ubuntu 10.04 with wine version 1.2 Or 1.3 
I get the following error:


Code:
pc1 at ubuntu:~$ wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Fujidirekt\ SE\
Fotoservice/Fujidirekt\ SE\ Fotoservice.exe
err:ole:CoUninitialize Mismatched CoUninitialize

:?

I think my guess was completely off and there is something else that is wrong. I
am thinking of skipping this program and try some other retailer instead. Or
maybe even see if I can borrow my friends computer instead.
Maybe you could put this program on the wine blacklist of programs that do not
work?
