[Wine] Unable to connect with IE8

[liderbug]

Linux 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686, Firefox, etc.
wine-1.1.14 (latest yum)

I'm creating web pages and need a way to test IE. I've been using IE6 for some time and just tried to upgrade to IE8.  I searched for "wine install ie8" and found several, followed this one and that one step by step, winecfg, tricks...  

wine iexplore.exe runs (I think) IE7.   wine .wine/drive_c/windows/ie8/iexplore.exe pops up a wine window and hangs up with "unimplemented function iertutil.dll.321"  I did find .../ie8/iertutil.dll   And now if I do 'wine iexplore.exe' I get WINE-HQ, which works but has no URL line so I can't go anywhere...

As a note, ie6 was installed under .ies4linux.  Before I "yum erase the-world" and start from scratch - thought I raise my hand and ask for help.
