MORE INFORMATION
When you try to view a subscription offline, and Internet Explorer is in
Work Offline mode, Internet Explorer looks in the Temporary Internet Files
folder for the subscription information and then loads the Web page with
the downloaded information. If you are not using Work Offline mode, and
you are not connected to the Internet, Internet Explorer tries to
establish a connection to the Web address. When the Web address is not
found, the error message occurs.
