if you have your firewall on... make sure its not set to block X11.app or Xquartz or whatever your using for X11... it'll block Wine too.

Other than that.. not sure, it all connects fine for me.

the firewall is off.

the firewall is off.

Have you tried multiple applications? which ones? Just installing Gecko then opening iexplore.exe should show the Wine homepage as a test.

tried installing googletalk labs edition, tried the built in version of ie. tried surfing after installing ie8 (winxp version). none work.

also, toolbar icons are not displayed in any of my apps (poweriso, ie8, etc…)

if you installed IE8 into the prefix, its probably hosed... make a brand new clean prefix.. then just do something simple like winetricks an install of Firefox, which should work fine... then you'll be able to test for sure that its actually an internet connection problem...

If you really need IE in a prefix for something, your better off using IE7, which somewhat works... IE8 basically will not work at all.
