Here is an annoying problem.... when I boot up and every 15-20 minutes or so (if I am not on line) I get a warning box telling me there is "No connection to the internet available....." and lets me choose to "work offline" or "Retry".

This has been going on now for about a week. It's annoying the [bleep] out of me. Any idea what is trying to connect to the interent or where I can look to find this sneaky application? Think it could be a virus or a dailup program?
