RRS Reader gives IE no-connection error

Whenever I have the News Reader enabled in my TLB, I get the error message that you get when IE cannot connect to the internet (Connect//Work Offline) whenever I resume from Hibernation.

When I remove the News Reader, I don't get this message. I've tried to set the startup timeout on it, but still no luck.

What version of News Reader do you use? The last version don't change the offline status just check it.
