Sir, issue is not with using konquerer or any other gui tool, i can access the network in my Slackware, but my Wine cannot detect these network settings. i did the 'ipconfig' command just to check if my wine detected any network( just trying some cheap hacks :) ). i read somewhere that wine should be made to point to the underlying Linux network settings and somewhere else that wine detects these network settings automatically, im really confused ! ive seen my Boss access the entire network in Wine, so i know its possible, just wanted to know how to do that. to make it short, i want Wine to be able to access other machines on the network, not my linux, my linux can already do that. i dont want to use samba either.
