Ubuntu – No internet in WINE 1.6.2 under Ubuntu 15.10

15.10internetnetworkingsoftware installationwine

I am trying to install Metatrader under Wine. The program setup continually requests proxy settings. My broker tells me this shouldn't happen, and is a problem on my end. Here is what I have tried to attempt to solve this error:

I have gone into Network settings and proxy is set to none.
I have looked in Wine Regedit and proxy_enable is set to 0.
I have checked the firewall settings on my modem.
I have tried reinstalling wine.
I have installed lib32nss-mdns
I can log on to my modem in iexplore using the gateway ip but thats it
I've set my DNS to 10.0.0.138 to reflect the gateway
I've set up a 32 bit Wine prefix

How should I proceed in solving this?

You need to install winhttp.dll, the following command would work:

winetricks winhttp

If any 404 error occurs when downloading W2KSP4_EN.EXE, try manually downloaded this file from the Wayback Machine here. and put it under $HOME/.cache/winetricks/win2ksp4/, Then rerun winetricks winhttp.

EDIT: Some people are having trouble with the Wayback Machine link. Another source is this from the Free University of Berlin FTP Archives.

Ubuntu – How to increase video memory in Wine? (Wine version 1.6.2)

You can set the video memory size as your graphics card supports with winetricks like this:

winetricks videomemorysize=2048

2048 is the video memory size in MB.

You may need to install winetricks:

sudo apt-get install winetricks

Ubuntu – Installing Wine on Ubuntu 15.10

Wine is available for Ubuntu 15.10 (also called wily).

To download simply open your terminal and type the following.
```
sudo apt-get install wine
```

and wine will be installed on your system. The above command will itself download all the dependencies required.

Winetricks comes with the wine package; installing wine will install it too.

Points to be noted

Using sudo apt-get install wine will install the stable version of wine, which I think is wine-1.6.2
Now, if you still want wine 1.7, which is unstable, then you will have to add the wine PPA. The information on how to do so can be found in installing wine 1.7
If you try to run sudo apt-get install wine1.7 without adding the PPA, you will see some errors.
After adding the PPA, you will be able to run sudo apt-get install wine1.7 winetricks too (most probably).
