    Remove work offline
    I keep unticking (work offline) in the tool dropdown box on my laptop but it keeps coming back on again. How can I stop it reappearing all the time?

    Laptop, eh? Maybe your laptop is disabling the connection to save on power. You can disable that if that is the case.

    • Click on START > MY NETWORK PLACES
    • Rightclick your connection and select Properties
    • In the Connect Using: box you will see your network card...click on CONFIGURE...
    • Your network card driver menu will appear, click on the Power Management tab
    • Untick the Allow computer to turn off this device to save power
    • Click OK

    Hope that does the trick!

    Edit: If you're using internet explorer, go to Tools > Connections > LAN settings and check Automatically Detect Settings.
