BTW - I am just starting out on LINUX. UBUNTU has been great - everything works. When I tried to run Internet Explorer the first time, UBUNTU went an got a package - I do not remember what it was. It still did not allow me to connect to the Internet.

Is there someone in Toronto I can turn to for assistance?

Thanks

You need to try Firefox, it is better than Internet Explorer.
or check the properties of the I.Explorer -> Connections

It depends on what programs you are trying to run in wine you will have to configure wine accordingly. What ru trying to run?

Can you help with this problem?
