Wine networking problem

[mastahyeti]

Hello,
I am trying to get my day-trading application (schwab street smart pro) to run in wine and seem to have gotten further than most who have tried. I have gotten the program to run, but the networking isn't working. The application isn't able to connect back to its trade server. The faq said to update my /etc/hosts. I did this and it didn't work. I ran wireshark while trying to connect to the server and I saw the DNS request (ipv4) coming from wine. My local dns server responded with the correct ipv4 address, but then I saw another request for the ipv6 address of the same domain. The dns server responded "no such name". I am wondering if there is some way in wine to disable all ipv6 networking. Also, if anyone has further troubleshooting suggestions, they would be much appreciated. Thanks.

also, is it maybe possible that the dns response didn't make it back to the application and this is why it is then looking for a ipv6 address? Thanks again.

I am wondering if there is some way in wine to disable all ipv6 networking.

Yes, see your distro's documentation. Typically it's something like:

Code: Select all

sudo echo 'install ipv6 /bin/true' > /etc/modprobe.d/ipv6.conf

I am also trying to get Street Smart to work. I'm a bit newer to Wine and apps debugging. See my thread: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=53716

I am running sspro in playonlinux because it was the only way I could successfully get .net20 to install. I am afraid though that I am not getting the full output of errors on the command line even though I launched playonlinux from the terminal. How can I run an application that I installed with playonlinux using normal wine? I am unsure of how to specify the alternate prefix. Thanks.

Alright, I figured out how to run from this prefix in wine without playonlinux. Here is the output I am getting


fixme:sync:CreateMemoryResourceNotification (0) stub
err:ole:CoGetContextToken apartment not initialised
fixmeURL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"msvcm80"
Added 0006009A to map.
fixmeURL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"System"
fixmeURL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"System.Configuration"
fixmeURL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"System.Xml"
fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread info class 16 not supported yet


I am going to try disabling ipv6 now.

[mastahyeti]

alright, I tested it with ipv6 disabled and it got rid of the second dns query, but still no connection. I also tried manually resolving the ipaddress in /etc/hosts and then I didn't see any dns queries. Still no connection to server though. Any thoughts on a next step in diagnosing this? Thanks.

Looks like we're both stuck at the same point have you made any headway?

Thanks for the pointer, looks hopeful, but alas, there is no such library for
Fedora 14 (what I'm using), and I guess I'm not smart enough to google
a solution. Only thing I come up with is that 32 bit support in Fedora
is "undocumented". Heavy sigh.

Several solutions:
- Install FC14 32-bit version
- Use any other 64-bit distro with full 32-bit support

Tried it with 32 bit Ubuntu with no joy to be found.
