Network interface name under wine.

Post by Lockywolf »

Hello, everyone.

My problem is the following:

I want to use my Linux machine to backup data from my Android Wechat.
The standard way to do it (don't ask my why) is to install a Windows WeChat, connect the two devices (the windows machine, usually a laptop and the smartphone) to the same Wifi network. Then the magical 'backup' function suddenly starts to work.

The problems is that regardless of which wifi network my laptop is connected to, WeChat always reports the name of the network as 'LAN' and denies synchronization.

Is there a way to convince wechat run under wine that the name of the network is different?

Thank you.
