    How To: Wine Programs Cannot Access Internet

    This is a glitch that pleaques 64 bit Ubuntu, if you are not running 64 bit Ubuntu, this probably wont help.

    This is actually a very simple How To:

    (Note: As always, ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY!)

    1.
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install lib32nss-mdns
    1b. or just click here for automatic installation!

    2. Restart

    Alternatively, If that does not work try:

    1.
    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove lib32nss-mdns libnss-mdns
    2. Restart

    Thanks this solved my issue in 64-bit Hardy for the IE geko install. First time I had an issue like this on 64-bit.

    can this be a sticky in the wine sub forum, because it seems to be a general bug in hardy/wine/64 bit.

    Re: How To: Wine Programs Cannot Access Internet

    Hmm, the HOWTO above didn't work for me I'm running the stock install of wine (from the repositories) on Ubuntu Hardy 64bit (fresh install, not an upgrade from Gutsy).

    I already have lib32nss-mdns installed, not sure what installed it but it's there.

    When I try:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove lib32nss-mdns libnss-mdns
    it tries to remove wine as well, which I definitely don't want to do.

    "wine iexplore" returns a stacktrace, and I'm getting Steam die unexpectedly (probably as a result).

    Any ideas?

    I take it back!

    I purged my .wine directory and created a new one from scratch, everything seems to be working correctly now.

    Thanks anyway

    By the way this howto is obsolete as installing the Wine package automatically installs lib32nss-mdns now.
