Debugger info:
[03/30/16 12:21:45] - Running wine- Scrivener.exe (Working directory : /home/nexist/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Scrivener/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Scrivener)

Note: There were no error messages in the Log file

Whenever I try to update my Scrivener app, I get a dialog saying "No Active Network Connection Found". When I noticed this, I checked my iDailyDiary app and found that its automatic update was not working either (there is no way to manually trigger the update check).

How can I tell PlayOnLinux to use my Linux network connections? Preferably without needing to uninstall and reinstall my applications.

Somehow the repository for WINE was dropped, so I was still on version 1.6.x. I added the Wine Repository and upgraded to 1.8. It appears to be working now.
