Two: Can you prevent (and this is an actual case) IE from not accessing the Internet but allowing Firefox to do so using native Linux applications from inside Wine? If you can, details please as this is an actual situation that has been requested in a security mailing list. Yes, there is someone that wants to install IE7 inside of Wine, but block all access from that program to the outside world but wants to use Firefox from inside of Wine and allow access to the outside world. Right now they are using Windows Firewall to do this, but they want the perceived security of Linux. And they have been just about everywhere trying to make this work. See, it is EASY to say "You can do that", much harder to demonstrate how. James McKenzie
