As a followup to the thread on sockets and POLLHUP in 2.2 kernels vs. 2.3 kernels (I was away for a while and unsubscribed to the list), could this be the cause of ftp.exe not connecting to non-local sites? I can connect to localhost, but not to ftp.winehq.com (my Internet connection is a standard modem). The same thing happens as was noted earlier: the wineserver returns a bogus error code to the wine process when it tries to do a connect(). This same thing happens with telnet.exe. james[46]%wine ftp localhost sockaddr_in: family 2, address 0.0.0.0(0), port 0 sockaddr_in: family 2, address 127.0.0.1(100007f), port 21 Connected to localhost.localdomain. 220 james.localhost.localdomain FTP server (Version wu-2.6.0(1) Fri Jun 23 09:17:44 EDT 2000) ready.
