CT should work fine w/o an internet connection. But, the base D&D files that come with CT are on the internet so you would need to download them. I know that some of the D&D monster pictures are retrieved from the internet, but I didn't think that would keep it from running.

when i did launch it, it kept bringing up an Error stating that it couldnt connect to rptools.net and this is the jar file i was clicking, not the file for my char itself

Was there an exception trace?

Yeah, I came across that in the code somewhere. There's a library that attempts to check network connectivity by making a connection to www.rptools.net and it's buried inside some piece of rplib, IIRC. It's harmless and can be ignored. (Well, assuming that you've downloaded the original data files as jay pointed out.)
