It seems that wine broke the ability to connect to a proxy server. Has anyone else noticed this? i.e. after establishing a proxy connection on my linux platform to another server ...... ' ssh -o "ServerAliveInterval 60" -D portnumber user at ipaddress' I used to and ought to be able to connect whilst running metatrader4 Tools -> options -> enable proxy server -> "localhost:portnumber" But is currently broken. I thought it may have been the build of metatrader4, but seems more likely that it is wine. i.e. after upgrading wine, i found because of some changes that I could not run metatrader4. screens missing and perhaps a font issue too. It was easy enough to create a new bottle for the latest wine version and not install corefonts and just install mfc42.dll. I am running wine-1.3.32 but perhaps the proxy connection stopped working around about wine-1.3.28 ????
