macro to auto open internet explorer

hi guys im sorry if my title is a little vague.
im trying to create a macro that will auto open an intranet site according to the filters that i have set. so far i have this code. (i changed the ip address for security purposes)

Dim ie As InternetExplorer

j = 2
Do While Range("a" & j) <> ""
    Set ie = New InternetExplorer
    
ie.Visible = True
ie.Navigate "http://0.0.0.0/servlet/GSISAlias?check_arr=arrival&check_dep=departure&vessel_code= &service_code=" & Range("E" & j) & "&city_code=" & Range("A" & j) & "&city_name=&from_date=" & Range("B" & j) & "&to_date=" & Range("C" & j) & "&vessel_type=&direction=" & Range("E" & j)
Do Until ie.ReadyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE
Loop

j = j + 1
Loop

the code above is working perfectly fine but i want to add something. usually what i would do once that page opens is i would click on a checkbox and then click on a link.
and it would open this page(below link)

http://0.0.0.0/servlet/SendHTMLPage?Attachment=GSISAlias%3Fvessel_type%3D%26to_date%3D2011-11-26%26city_code%3DESALR%26city_name%3D%26vessel_code%3D%26check_arr%3Darrival%26check_dep%3Ddeparture%26from_date%3D2011-08-19%26direction%3D%26service_code%3D&maxPage=22&text_only=true&jsp_type=3&baseURL=http%3A%2F%2F0.0.0.0%2Fservlet%2F&multiPage=1

Im trying to figure out to open that link according to the filters i have set on the first code. I know it is a bit confusing but any inputs would be appreciated. thank you very much!

im also think of just automating the selecting of check box and clicking of the link..
like

Dim check as Object
Set check = ie.Document.getElementsbyTagName("checkbox").value = True
//im not sure of this code but i hope you get the idea

and then same for auto clicking the link.
anyone?
