Mozilla is connecting to the internet without problem.

Reporter : did you overwrite a previous mozilla build ?

i use a proxy server 
and for as long as i can remember if i upgrade mozilla it switches back to using
Direct Connection to Internet

If you use a proxy server you need to go to Edit, Preferences and make sure to
switch it back on.  

Hope this is the right answer to your problem

Please provide more information.

Are you saying this worked before 1.3a? Please describe how it worked correctly
for you (did it auto-dial?) What error occurs in 1.3a when this fails.

I did receive this email from the reporter:

	Subject: 	[Bug 187439] Conn: 'No internet connection'

I didn't have any trouble with Mozilla before 1.3a.
I have cable, so the program does not need to dial.
It has always (from 1.0alpha (I believe)) worked fine.
