The main issue here is Mint is not detecting your modem. You could take a look at Ndiswrapper to overcome the problem https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
This is Ubuntu Documentation but much the same applies to Mint.
Mint Ndiswrapper http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/MintWifi
Ndiswrapper http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/
Overcome the internet connection problem and the rest will fall in to place.

Hello Uday_wizard,
I really think your question would best be asked in the forum for Linux. You can visit the link below. I think they will really help you much better than people here on Y/As. Although some people do get advanced help, most of the users ask the easy questions like how do I get online or help me get my desktop icons back to normal. The steps you require might have already been published at the below forum. I do hope you get your answer here and wish you the best of luck. I havent used Linux Mint and had a few problems with Wine in Ubuntu although I got it to work. It can be a pain when you are new to it like us.
Good Luck!
I haven’t used Mint but I know it is based on Ubuntu, therefore it will probably use aptitude, so, in a terminal run: sudo apt-get install wine If that doesn’t work you might try enabling universe and multiverse repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list and then running sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine Hope it helps.
