Similarly, I have had a long standing problem where, if I use Outlook 98
and IE5, then eventually Outlook will not longer be able to get new mail
(it hangs up). If I restart Outlook, it dies with a winsock error.
Also, often if I just read HTML formatted mail in Outlook it does the
same thing. I had an open trouble report with Netraverse and tried
everything they could think of but never resolved this. They said they
hadn't heard of anything else like this but I'm wondering if these other
reports of network failures after a time are related. I finally gave up
using Outlook 98 in win4lin, at least on a regular basis. Also,
restarting win4lin fixes the problem in my case as well.
Between this and the ALSA problems, there is less and less that I'm able
to do with win4lin. I hope it gets sorted soon. I've got a test copy
of VMWare and that seems to have fewer problems but is not as fast.
