Hi everyone, I've got stuck trying to get Sketchup 7 ( Version 7.1.6860 ) to connect to the 3D warehouse via a proxy using Wine 1.1.38 (same problem with older version 1.1.35) on a linux machine ( Gentoo, Kernel 2.6.32.3 ) I have followed the instructions for setting up a proxy for Wine from: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-d582e2a4e92f4d8ae6c3401daebd7d5621eb220f ###### My ~/.wine/user.reg contains the following entries after editing the file: [Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings] 1266741039 @="" "ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001 "ProxyServer"="proxy.A.B.C:8080" "User Agent"="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Win32)" ###### Using the proxycfg.exe command to set the winhttp proxy I get the following; > wine proxycfg -u > wine proxycfg Microsoft (R) WinHTTP Default Proxy Configuration Tool Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Current WinHTTP proxy settings under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections\ WinHttpSettings : Proxy Server(s) : proxy.A.B.C:8080 Bypass List : ###### I start sketchup in a terminal using; > env http_proxy="proxy.A.B.C:8080" env ftp_proxy="proxy.A.B.C:8080" env WINEPREFIX="/home/fred/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7\SketchUp.exe" which yields the following errors in the xterm: fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC" (8.0.50608.0) fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW Option INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT (30000): STUB fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW INTERNET_OPTION_SEND/RECEIVE_TIMEOUT 30000 fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW INTERNET_OPTION_SEND/RECEIVE_TIMEOUT 30000 fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_RETRIES 0 After sketchup starts, I select File -> 3D Warehouse -> Get Models and after a few seconds a window pops up with the error. "Could not connect to the 3D Warehouse. 2250" And the errors in the x terminal are: fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW Option INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT (30000): STUB fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW INTERNET_OPTION_SEND/RECEIVE_TIMEOUT 30000 fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW INTERNET_OPTION_SEND/RECEIVE_TIMEOUT 30000 fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_RETRIES 0 fixme:wininet:InternetCheckConnectionW fixme:wininet:InternetCheckConnectionW fixme:wininet:InternetCheckConnectionW So now I'm out of ideas, [Rolling Eyes] any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you for your help. Cheers, RRW
