You have a problem with the default gateway.  When you connect to the
internet, your ISP's DHCP system sets up your IP address, netmask and
default gateway.  If you reboot and don't connect to the internet, you
don't have any of that set up, so the two systems can't speak to each
other.

You didn't say how you connect to the internet.  If you can give us an
idea of the topology of your network, we might be able to offer some
exact instructions on how to make sure it works whether or not you're on
the internet.
