Inernet Access (was Re: Exif editor)

[Daniel]

Hello,

I would like to apologise for hoping on to another user e-mail problem and I 
hope he does fix it!.

I connect to the internet via Ethernet and its all lugged in but when I open 
up FF it tells me page cannot be found. And I have set it as my default 
internet etc.

"use an emulator such as wine" do you have a link for this?

Thank you and sorry to the other user again!
