(SOLVED) WINE is unable to access my network

In the past few weeks I have tried to play two different network games with WINE and was unable to see and connect to a server. This applies to both Internet games and ones I have hosted on a local area network. It appears that I have no network from within WINE for some strange reason.

BASH console:

[hamish@Gehirn ~]$ ping 68.41.25.33
PING 68.41.25.33 (68.41.25.33) 56(84) bytes of data.

WINE CMD prompt:

[hamish@Gehirn ~]$ wine cmd
Microsoft Windows 6.1.7601

Z:\home\hamish>ping 68.41.25.33
Pinging 68.41.25.33 [68.41.25.33] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

I am using wine-4.18-1 and I can confirm that I was able to use WINE to play networked games within the last year on the same setup. I am really baffled by this.

Try reproducing in a new wine prefix, you probably have some config somewhere that breaks here. Another guess, firejail or similar sandboxing software.

Problem exists across prefixes and indeed on different Linux machines. Just to make sure it was not something with our router or networking setup I tethered my phone so I could have a direct data connection and still had the same issue. It is really strange.

Re: (SOLVED) WINE is unable to access my network

Do both 64-bit and 32-bit prefixes have this problem ?

what is the output of ipconfig from the wine cmd env ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Same issue from both 64-bit and 32-bit prefixes.

Re: (SOLVED) WINE is unable to access my network

Alright, I can confirm that the ping issue was actually due to a lack of raw sockets permissions as outlined in the FAQ:
https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Failed_to_u … ermissions

[hamish@Gehirn ~]$ wine cmd
Microsoft Windows 5.2.3790

As I can now confirm that I do have network access in WINE, I can mark this thread as solved.
