network support on 4.0 from EPEL

[Luke Short]

Hey Jerry,

My package list is currently biased towards Fedora so some packages may not
be available on RHEL/CentOS. My other recommendations would be to try using
a new/clean Wine prefix and different applications. If you continue to have
problems you may have better luck asking for help in the WineHQ Forums
<https://forum.winehq.org/>.

Sincerely,
    Luke Short
