   My suggestion, if you haven't already, is to check the option to show =
an icon in the tray for your network connection from the network control =
panel.  After you have done so pay attention for any notifications that =
the connection is offline.

    Argh, my home computer has started to ask me that "You are currentyl =

    offline. Would you like to connect now?" question, right out of the =
blue.
    Happens all the time now, when I'm using OE to read newsgroups, and
    occasionally when I'm browsing the net.

    Was there a setting buried somewhere and then hidden in a =

    dialogs help button or some such, to say "Always connect, you stupid
    computer"? I'm on ADSL, so this bugs the crap out of me.

    The only piece in the puzzle that has changed is my ADSL modem, =

don't
    know if that could be the cause...?
