Thanks Duane.

As suggested, I tried a couple of "known working" network apps, and they 
didn't work (network wise) either.

With the Fedora RPM, notes and visio both worked using the "real" win2k 
install directories, and the winver set to "win2k". But with no network. 
When I used the default wine fake install, I couldn't get notes or visio 
to work at all.

I changed to the winehq RPM (wine-20030911-1rh9winehq), and I could now 
run notes and visio in the fake windows install, with the winver left at 
"auto". But still no networking.

Doing a "wine --debugmsg warn+all c:\\notes\\notes.exe" I noticed a lot 
of warnings like this:
warn:dosfs:DOSFS_FindUnixName L"KERNEL32.dll" not found in 
'/home/dluff/.wine/c/notes'
warn:dosfs:DOSFS_FindUnixName L"KERNEL32.dll" not found in 
'/home/dluff/.wine/c/notes'
warn:dosfs:DOSFS_FindUnixName L"KERNEL32.dll" not found in 
'/home/dluff/.wine/c/windows/system'
warn:dosfs:DOSFS_FindUnixName L"KERNEL32.dll" not found in 
'/home/dluff/.wine/c/windows'
warn:dosfs:DOSFS_FindUnixName L"KERNEL32.dll" not found in 
'/home/dluff/.wine/c/windows'
warn:dosfs:DOSFS_FindUnixName L"KERNEL32.dll" not found in 
'/home/dluff/.wine/c/windows/system'
warn:dosfs:DOSFS_FindUnixName L"KERNEL32.dll" not found in '/tmp'

Some of the DLL's it couldnt find were in the windows\system32 
directory. I tried adding this to the [wine]Path variable, but it didn't 
make any difference. So I did the stupid thing (cp system32/* system) 
and now it's all working! I'm pretty sure this was a bad solution but at 
least it worked.
