[Wine]Re: WINE and localhost IP

[David Botha]

Thanks all for the proposals.  Actually, I think Rein is correct in that
this discussion is going beyond the topic of this forum.  Just for
information, my router is a cheap hardware router, not a PC.  I do not think
I can configure it as a DNS.  I have not attempted to configure a Linux box
as a DNS, but for this to work I shall at least need to buy one more network
card for the one old box I have and then replace my router with a switch. 
So the whole effort will not be without financial expenditure.  I cannot
imagine that someone else has not encoutered this problem before and has not
already found the solution.  I shall keep looking...

Thanks again for the proposals and thoughts.
