I'm trying to use Wine on Ubuntu to use a proprietary Windows program that looks for a proprietary device on the local network. I don't know where it's looking, which protocol, port or IP address it's using. That information is sealed. I only know it uses the Ethernet port.
It can't find the device in Wine. It can on Windows. It does not use any device drivers. All communication is done over Ethernet.
I tried poking around to see what could be going wrong. I tried several Windows LAN viewers and scanners on Wine, but none of them found any computers. So now I'm wondering: can Wine actually scan the local area network and find computers (or computer-like devices) on it? If so, how do I enable that ability?
My Wine version is 1.6.2 and I'm running it in a 32 bit prefix on a 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty machine.
