I don't think either wininet fixme is telling you anything worthwhile.
 As you already pointed out, the first one seems okay:  a LAN
connection is what it most likely expects anyway.  The second stub, if
you look at the source, returns ERROR_SUCCESS, which is what MSDN says
it should return if it succeeds.

I think you're going to have to try a +relay log and scanning through
it ti figure out why it thinks it's offline.
