I am currently at a remote location and even though I have internet access (i.e. I can browse the web but not very quickly), when I start ArcMap 10.1 the Add Data options for Add Basemap and Add Data from ArcGIS Online are greyed out.
Does anyone know why this might be, and whether there is a way I can force ArcMap to "try harder" to reach ArcGIS Online?

This problem is now resolved by IT staff. Solution came from someone for who English is his second language so I do not know exact details but it seemed to be related to there being two gateways present instead of the expected one.
