Not everything works under Wine, it seems to still require some specific patches:
http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_watch_Netflix_%28Watch_Instantly%29_in_Linux

ya i found that page right before i checked the thread am trying it now if it dosn't work have any other suggustions?

If a howto says you need less than two months old patches to run the thing, the odds are rather high that it's correct.
If you can't get those instructions to work, you'll have to wait for someone to come up with a script to install everything more simply.
Otherwise, the very same page lists your other options.

Did you :
-use wine 1.5.18 ?
-installed silverlight VERSION 4
-use FIREFOX not IE

well after hours and hours it finally works........ive knotists one thing netflix dose not like to go back to the browsing menue any ideas for that?
