Connection not connecting

When I booted up this morning and started WDSCi (v7) my connection to the
development box will not connect. The Work Offline box in the properties
is checked and will not uncheck. I right click on the connection, select
properties, then uncheck 'work offline' then click OK. When I go back into
the properties, the 'work offline' box is still checked.

I have tried clinking on the work offline item in the context menu (right
click on connection, work offline) and that has no effect either. I tried
the connect menu item. Nothing will allow me to connect to this system.

I was connected to it yesterday. This same thing happened when I initially
loaded v7 and opened my v6 workbench. I had to create a new connection to
get it ti actually connect. Now my 'new' connection will not connect
either.

In my error log I see several interesting messages:

A workspace crash was detected. The previous session did not exit
normally.

Project facet group portlet.api has not been defined. It is used in plugin

Anyone have any ideas to get my connection to connect again?
