I am running wine-6.0.3 (Ubuntu 6.0.3~repack-1) under Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, installed via apt. I have several programs installed that need access to the internet. Before I migrated to Ubuntu 22.04, everything worked properly under 18.04. Now, no program under wine can access the internet.
I ran 'wine cmd' and tried 'ping www.google.com' and even though that nameserver is translated to an IP address, the ping fails. If, however, I run 'sudo wine cmd' (just as a test), the ping works as expected.
I found this - https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Failed_to_u ... ermissions - which seems to maybe be a possible solution, except that there is no wine-preloader file that I can find anywhere, either in the locations noted or through a search of the filesystem.
I saw the recommendation to run 'dpkg-reconfigure wine-<branch>-amd64 wine-<branch> wine-<branch>-i386' and I tried that as well, substituting 'stable' for '<branch>'. It tells me that the command must be run as root and when I do, it tells me that wine-stable-amd64 is not installed. If I try one at a time, it says that none of those [wine-stable-amd64;wine-stable; wine-stable-i386] are installed.
Could someone please tell me what I am missing here? Thank you.
Unable to Connect to Internet through Wine
Re: Unable to Connect to Internet through Wine
An other/better way to test the Internet connection in Wine, is to use the built-in Internet Explorer.
Is the winbind package installed?
Code: Select all
wine iexplore
Some programs need the winbind package for the Internet connection.Before I migrated to Ubuntu 22.04, everything worked properly under 18.04. Now, no program under wine can access the internet.

Re: Unable to Connect to Internet through Wine
I thought I replied to this. I checked and dpkg shows that that is installed:
ii winbind 2:4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu1 amd64 service to resolve user and group information from Windows NT servers
