Hi @RichardCamp248 

The "Internet Connection Error" in QuickBooks Desktop typically occurs when the application fails to connect to the internet, hindering updates or data downloads. Common causes include firewall or antivirus software blocking QuickBooks, network configuration issues, or unstable internet connections. To resolve this error, first ensure your internet connection is stable. Then, check firewall and antivirus settings to allow QuickBooks access. Additionally, updating QuickBooks to the latest version can help fix underlying issues. If problems persist, consider resetting your internet connection settings or contacting QuickBooks support for further assistance.
