Description

[Matt Corby]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I have three different connections; T1 Lan, Wireless and a dial-up connection.
When my dial-up is inactive (the modem is unplugged) and I'm on LAN or Wireless
connection a dialog box pops up when I try and surf to a page that Firefox
doesn't already know about.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up wireless and LAN connection, install an ADSL USB modem with a dial up
connection (default, dial whenever network connection is not present)
2. disconnect the dial up modem
3. Surf to a URL like "google.com" or some other URL.

Actual Results:  
A dialogue box pops up with "Opening port.. Error 797: The connection failed
because the modem (or other connecting device) was not found. Please make sure
that the modem or other connecting device is installed. Redial, cancel , more info".


Expected Results:  
Surf to the URL using the currently connected network.

By pressing cancel, you can always then surf to the location.
