So if I opened IE and Firefox simultaneously and selected "work offline" in the IE menu, that's really a windows setting (from the control panel) and therefore Firefox wouldn't be able to work online? Wow, that's interesting in an evil sort of way...

Didn't Microsoft fight all those years in the courts and essentially have to "unbundle" IE from Windows? Of course, the only reason I keep IE on my home computer is the need to update Windows; I use Firefox almost all the time for everything else...
