No! In fact, it's best that you're NOT online while doing a defrag. Anytime defrag hits a part of a hard drive where the information is changing, defrag restarts doing that portion of the drive. While on the internet, your PC is constantly sending and receiving files and changing what's on the hard drive. Your defrag will take a lot longer.

You don't have to be on the Internet to defrag. You need to download and install a disk defragmenter and defrag your drives or partitions; the defrag process has no connection with the Internet, it's an action that optimized your hard drive, the way data is stored.
