1 edit | Causes of 'Work Offline'?
I just did a fresh install of Vista on a family memebers' PC. Installed SP1 and all the current updates.
Often... when opening IE and naving to a site nothing comes up except a box that says "not currently connected to the internet, Work Offline or Try Again".
I click 'try again' and the page comes up. This is sort of happening with Live mail as well. It's not sending/recieving unless you force it by Send/Recieve and then this WorkOffline/TryAgain dialog comes up.
The Network icon is always available with the "planet". I can ping the router. Messenger is active/online.
She's on TWC cable with a Vonage adapter as the router. I did power cycle the equipment and verified the settngs. They are all fine (and this wasn't an issue until I just re-installed).
I checked the LAN settings in IE and there is no proxy, The Auto Detect settings were unchecked. SO I checked that and the problem seems to have subsided a bit. It is not coming up as frequently.
I have seen this before on my machine... years ago. A fresh install corrected it. This is just weird that it's happening after actually doing a fresh install.
Any ideas?
Oh... I have also tried to "reset" the browser. And it still comes up when trying yo go to the MS site to choose the search and Phishing Filter.... |

Does your router perhaps only connect PPPoE on demand? That would introduce an initial delay, perhaps enough to fool the application that it was getting no response. |

Also, try the following:
IE > Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings > then "toggle" "Automatically detect settings"
For instance, if "Automatically detect settings" is not checked, try checking it. If it is already checked try unchecking it. |

If it is already checked try unchecking it. I initially did this. It was not checked... and I checked it.
Which seems to have made it "better" because its not as consistent. Perhaps I should go back and uncheck it.
(Requires remote access... so I'll have to do it later...) |

BTW, are there any events in the Event Viewer that may be related? |
