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

Ive tried on and off over the years to switch over to linux, problem is I havent been able to get some things I require to work.
I have a 2003 exchange server that contains my website, email services(obviously) and my daily work software, called Wintotal.
its installed on the client workstation by mapping the program folder and running the .exe and it basically just creates links to the program located on the server but does require some local resources as well.
I would REALLY love to get this program (wintotal) to work through Wine but Im not sure how to go about it or if its even possible due to it being a network program.
I can access it through the samba shares but clicking and telling it to open it Wine doesnt do anything.
Any help or ideas on how to accomplish this would be awsome.
