Perhaps you can try to connect to a server on your local network? What I'm thinking is that perhaps the remote server you are connecting to is doing something different, perhaps trying to use "punkbuster" or what ever counterstrike has as its anti cheat thing or it could be trying to download maps/textures/sounds/etc.. Have you tried different servers? When you say it hangs, what exactly happens? The program completely stops responding? Does it say anything prior to hanging? How far does the remote connection get before it stops? What if any messages are in the wine console when this happens?
