Samba has a socket wrapper library that fakes network access. It's not going 
to work on Wine the way Samba did it (I tried and failed), but I'd be 
interested in implementing something similar for Wine. Ideally, it'd be 
compatible to Samba so I can use it for testing, but there's no reason the 
internet tests can't use that as well.

The issue here is that we need to do some pre-setup on the environment we run 
in, ideally in a way that works on Windows as well. This seems to be hard, so 
I might be overengineering things. If you think something that for now only 
runs on Wine would be useful, I can give that a shot.

Cheers,
Kai
