Looking at the source code makes me think that this can be disabled in Edit ➤ Preferences or manually in some *rc file in the Gimp profile (my first candidate would be gimprc). However since I run a self-compiled Gimp this feature is disabled so I cannot help more.
On the other hand this error is completely benign and Windows is turning it off for you by not letting Gimp access the internet.
