Oftentimes while I am offline (56 K Dial-Up Connection) I get a pop-up box that says "Web page unavailable while offline".
The new pop-up window has 2 buttons that I can choose from- "Connect" or "Stay Offline. It happens when I am working in Excel, Word or any program. In no way was I trying to access a webpage when I got these boxes, which will appear oftentimes 2 or 3 times in a row. Generally I just hit hit the X in the right hand corner of the box, and they close.
They pop up while I am offline, and also when I first connect, they will sometimes pop up, after I have connected via my "Dial Up Connection".
It is annoying, especially when I am offline, have no interest in going on line, and have to keep closing the box before I can continue whatever I was working on
I have run Spybot, and even after a clean sweep, I still get that "Web Page unavailable while offline". I have my XP firewall on. IS this an Explorer issue, or is it a security issue. How do I resolve this problem
I run Windows XP Professional, on a Dell Dimesion 4600, and I have Internet Explorer 6
