I'll admit I haven't tried that yet, as the linux version of firefox works well
and I'm looking to access pages that don't render properly in anything but ie6.
 I'll give it a go, though to see if I get any further.

I should have mentioned above, that the ie6 installer (the one used by
winetools) does run, but complains that it can't reach the internet.
