It works now. Nautilus certainly does recognise my Internet connection. You can close the bug.
I think it was more of a user-interface issue. I remember trying to access some FTP sites, and Nautilus would not play along. These FTP sites are always available and well-known in South Africa (e.g. ftp.is.co.za). Anyway... cheers -- Nautilus does not recognize my dialup connection https://launchpad.net/bugs/45778 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
