Hi!
It's strange but there is no patch in this mail I can look at...
However, even more strange is that wine returns localhost address to you...
Why ? I just tested Your testing code (just slightly modified to get it to
compile) on both plain linux as well as in wine and in both cases it returns my
real public IP. Isn't your Linux networking setup (/etc/hosts table) a bit
wrong ? My one contains (arcus is my machine name)
127.0.0.1 localhost
195.39.17.7 arcus.sinus.cz arcus
I have already seen broken setups containing things like
127.0.0.1 localhost arcus
which is of course wrong.
