That's no surprise. Here's what you're doing:
Internet -> Linux system
Linux firewall
applications space
Wine
Peerblock
As you can see, even if it would run, Peerblock under wine would run as
an application with only an application's priviledges - not exactly the
most useful way for something claiming to be a firewall to operate.
Use the built-in Linux firewall instead. Its already installed and fully
integrated with the Linux kernel. If you want to do stuff that the
firewall configuration tool won't do, take a look at Shorewall,
http://www.shorewall.net and/or the simpler tools its site suggests.
These have almost no overheads since they only add rules to the built-in
firewall and are not run during normal operation.
