Wine won't connect to network

[mynot]

I've asked this on the Newbie forum but haven't had much help. Maybe someone here?

I have installed Wine under Ubuntu 12.04, and added Firefox web browser. It doesn't connect to the internet, not even to the router (10.1.1.1). Nor does it recognise localhost (127.0.0.1). I can't find any way to check the network configuration in Wine.

I have no trouble connecting to the network using Firefox in Ubuntu. I want to get it to work in Wine.

Any suggestions as to what I should check?
Thanks

to check wine netconfig in wine the process I follwed was;

Start winetricks
set virtual desktop to 800 x 600
browse files on C_drive
browse to c:\windows\system32\ and execute cmd.exe
then run "ipconfig /all"

Greg,
Thanks. Opened a whole new world!
The output is shown below. It all looks the same as on 12.04 - I think. Anything strike you?

apologies for slow reply. am running massive backup at mo and hardware struggling a little! lol

if you browse files again in winetricks and open the file <sysdrive>\system32\hosts (just a text editor will be OK) is there anything in it?

No filename containing "hosts" found on .wine/drive_c.
Thanks

[gregr1969]

Well honestly? I don't know then. I don't know too much about Wine. We COULD define a hosts file and see if it works but, I really suggest going to the project's website and checking their knowledgebase or forum.

Sorry mate

Greg, just to let you know, as a result of your emails I figured out how to run IE under Wine and that connected perfectly, so it must be to do with Firefox. Thanks again.

mynot, then I'd check this out using earlier Wine version. O later one if such is available already

In the case of failure I'd post Wine's terminal output of Firefox run session. That could help others identify problem.
If it's too big to read inside a forum, I'd probably upload it to PasteBin or the like.
