Actually, no.

Although I had IE set to work offline, I didn't have it open and it still prevented Sunrise XP from going online. But Firefox worked just fine; that's the reason it took me a while to realize what was going on. It wasn't until I opened IE and got the warning that I was working offline that it struck me as being part of the problem.

Apparently, the Windows setting affects some programs (including Sunrise XP) but not others (including Firefox, Thunderbird and Symantec Live Update). Go figure.
