Description

[StuartGMC]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050531 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050531 Firefox/1.0+

Note I'm on broadband with Connection setting as "Direct connection to internet". 
Using Tools>Check for update initializes the "Network Connections" pop up
window, which only lists the DUN connections.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Using Tools>Check for update initializes the "Network Connections" pop up
window, which only lists the DUN connections. Using "Cancel" gives:

**Deer Park was not able to find any available updates

Deer Park encountered problems when trying to find updates for some items**

2. However, using Tools>Options>Advanced>Update gives:
a) For Deer Park as above **Deer Park was not able to find any available
updates** ok no problem, but,
b) Check My Extensions and Themes, and this is when the Network Connections pop
up is called and can only be overcome with cancel. 


Actual Results:  
As described

Expected Results:  
For broadband with Direct connection to internet set, should not call dialup
network connection.
