Additional Comments
According to a comment on Wowhead's online forums: "when running the Wowhead_Client.exe with wine it creates a winsock instance and looks up client.wowhead.com according to packet capture the reply from dns comes back as expected then the client tries to do a DLL_THREAD_ATTACH, immediatly does a DLL_THREAD_DETACH and just displays the connecting to wowhead progress bar no connection to the previously looked up IP is started"
