Midnight Commander itself does not, but underlying libraries might need
the system to be configured correctly (as in, not necessarily a working
network connection, but at least a non-broken configuration).

It could have easily been the Samba code, or X, or else gpm, or even
subshell (if the corresponding features have been enabled during
compilation); when the system is misconfigured, things might not work as
expected (surprise!).
