Check your network settings.

Is this the message that is coming up in IE? Or, if it's the Windows dialog box, just disable the network card.

Its adware. Download ad-aware SE, update and run a full system scan. Download the program here

I agree with Starwarsman. Sounds like there is some application trying to access the internet in the background. Ad-aware is likely to solve the problem. I'd also suggest a virus scan and using a firewall (which will highlight any apps trying to get online).
Incindentally, if the problem occurs when you are looking at web-pages you have saved on your PC it might be because the pages need to connect to the 'net to show stuff. In this case click file (in internet explorer) and 'work offline'. You'll need to undo this when going online again.
