Browser keeps going "offline" when connected

[Guest]

Intermittently, when I open a new browser window, I get a message saying
"Would you like to go offline? No connection to the Internet is currently
available .." even though my hardware seems OK and the Local Area
Connection icon in my system tray says "Connected".

When I click "Try Again" in the message window, the browser immediately
works, so the connectivity is there.

Is there some setting that I should adjust to keep this from happening? Its
mainly just a nuisance, happening a few times a day.

Any comments greatly appreciated.

I take it by your mention of the LAN icon you are using DSL/cable...

Are you perchance using IE7?
