Your questions do not make complete sense.So, could I still use the internet through wine, for windows, without any trouble at all?

What I mean is
Ok, Let me rephrase this, My original question was 'will it enable internet on windows itself through wine'. Since my answer was 'no' I'm wondering if 1) it'll be safe to use internet on windows through wine without any trouble, and 2) will wine even connect to the internet if I go on Halo Custom edition

This does not make sense. Wine does not run on Windows.maxmc087 wrote:I'm wondering if 1) it'll be safe to use internet on windows through wine without any trouble,
Now, if you're asking whether Windows apps running in Wine can connect to the internet, the answer is yes.
Why don't you just try it and find out?2) will wine even connect to the internet if I go on Halo Custom edition

can look for this. If it is not there, that means:
a. No one has tried,
b. Folks have tried but not entered any results.
You should not rely on the results of what others have found. If there
are no results posted, why not try and let us know what happened.

Wine is NOT Windows. Thus this question should be asked:Ok, Let me rephrase this, My original question was 'will it enable internet on windows itself through wine'. Since my answer was 'no' I'm wondering if 1) it'll be safe to use internet on windows through wine without any trouble,

I answered 'no' because I assumed you were saying this:
"If I am able to make an internet connection in Wine, will I suddenly be able to make a connection in real Windows too?"
Since Wine's a program that's completely seperate from an OS like Windows in terms of access, it won't make any soft of difference.
If you meant something else, please, PLEASE rephrase. Most apps can connect to the internet fine under Wine if you meant that, though it depends on the completeness and compatibility of the networking libraries with Wine that seperate apps use.
