I have a user running Win XP Pro SP2 on a Dell Inspiron. The above message keeps popping up whenever he goes to the internet for anything, surf, email, etc. Although he is already connected. He is using wireless for access both at work and at home. Anyone have any ideas?
 
In Internet Explorer, go to the Tools Menu, then Internet Options, Select the Connections Tab and then "Never dial a connection". This should fix the problem.
