Lotus programs (the client Notes and server) use a special port for communication: according to some docs it is 1352. According to my experience, running Notes under Wine requires a corresponding service known by the system.

Adding these line to /etc/services helps:

lotusnote        1352/tcp       lotusnotes      # Lotus
lotusnote        1352/udp       lotusnotes      # Lotus

Run Lotus Notes under Wine, try to connect to an example server already present in the adress book.
