Virtualbox + Network issue (I need internet explorer for work)

Hi all! I have a very strange problem. I just got a new job, and I can only add and view my worktime through internet explorer. Wine didn't help, so I installed $hitdow$ XP in a virtualbox. Even before I opened a browser or used the connection for anything, I got a virus (dl.exe in a dos cmd window), and there's no problem basically with that install disk.

Anyway the strange issue: Internet explorer after around 2-3 minutes of work says, there's no connection. I go to run/cmd and ping, and it works. Does someone have an idea, how to make IE work in wine? (aur bin32-wine-gecko didn't work, only the virtualbox solution was working yet (for 2-3 minutes), but I would be happier with a wine-based solution)

after exiting, IExplore.exe and wineserver and explorer.exe gets stuck and eats one full cpu core. it's time to create an exit bash script

I had the same for konqueror (I could even switch to webkit) but this site really only works with IE6+. But ies4linux works. A simple browser identification change won't help
