I just installed I.E. ver 8.0 and everything seems to be working correctly ,however I keep getting the little box stating that Iam not connected to the internet ,do I want to work offline then it offers me two options"continue to work offline" or "reconnect" ? Problem is while itts telling me this Iam connected, any ideas would ADD/REMOVE Programs offer me a fix Internet Explorer option and perhaps correct this problem ? Any advice or suggestions greatly apprciated ! Thanks to All , Nick

Nick, I'm not familiar with IE8 but check the Internet Options and if there's a Connections tab select "Never dial a connections", click Apply/OK. Tufenuf

Hi and thank you for the reply ,. Yes I.E. ver8.0 does have the internet option connections tab and its set to "never dial a connection" ! However Iam still constanly getting the little box stating Iam offline and offering me two options #1 to stay offline or #2 to reconnect ,I always cklick on the reconnect just incase however I believe Iam not off line . I have the option of working offline turned off and I do not know what else to do at this point except just put up with this box appearing and clicking on reconnect and continue whatever Iam doing on the internet ? Thank You ,Nick

I would try removing IE 8 and then reinstalling it using Windows update. One of these might also help: http://www.google.com/search?q=IE+8...
