if you are able to go the main page of the site. It is very likely a cached page sitting in your browser history. This will make it look like you have internet connection when in reality you don't. Try a couple of things:

This is going to be under the file menu. If you do not see the file menu on top of the page its most likely hidden, to display it press the "alt" button your keyboard and menus will appear, from there go to file and ceck to see if the "work offline" option is checked or not (note you do NOT want a check mark next to this option).

If you still do not have internet connection come back with the your findings thus far and we will go from there.
