Try a test other than "ping".  "ping" must be set-uid root or have 
appropriate capabilities indicated in the filesystem in order to operate:

$ getcap /usr/bin/ping
/usr/bin/ping = cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+p

"wine" would need the same, which isn't advisable.  Generally, you 
shouldn't expect Windows ping to work.  Everything that doesn't need 
access to create raw network frames should.
