[Wine] Network Programs

[Dean Hamstead]

using the network isnt necessarily a problem for wine. i play games and 
even do my tax through windows programs in WINE that use the network 
through winsock.

if the program simply isnt working, the first place to look is what
information wine is giving you via the command line.

so from a command window, just run

wine /path/to/exe/wintotal.exe

then see what it spews forth, then try and make some sense of it, and 
post on here asking for further assistance
