Upload files within Visual Studio .Net to a Web Host

I want to upload files within Visual Studio .Net to a Web Host.
Here are the steps to do this:
1- Load the Visual Studio start page (at Visual Studio start-up)
2- In the menu to left, click "Web Hosting"

In line 2 I got an error. The error tells me that I am not connected to the internet. But I was chatting with someone on the net and looking the CNN headlines at the same time.

In microsoft words I got the following message:
The feature requires that you have connected to the
internet previously or are currently on line.

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance
