I am using Windows 7, and IE8.
Every time I have GMail open in IE8, and I resume from sleep, I get the question about working offline - even if at that momoent the wireless connection is available.
This is particularly sad, because all browsing is stopped until I dismiss that dialog, that may be hidden below other windows.

As I am not using offline browsing at all, is it possible to disable the functionality altogether, so that I no longer get the question? A bit like in Firefox, where I simply get the error message with page unavailable.
I have googled a bit, but no luck so far. Even a direct modification of the registry would be fine, for me.

Use ClickOff to 'dismiss that dialog' automatically, It's simple but efficient, this program can kill annoying pop-up messages and windows in a flash.

This is a workaround, and it is quite interesting. However, this is not really the solution - that would be how to disable that request at all. – Roberto Liffredo Jan 10 at 0:19
wireless network devices and sleep mode has always been dodgy affair and that hasn't much improved with Vista/7. the problem is certainly not with the browser, it's the device configuration. that said, some WLAN adapters are plain cr*p, i hope for you it's not a Ralink adapter :) – Molly7244 Jan 10 at 0:52
