Comment 3 for bug 379781

Section 7 would require a working connection, which is why it isn't opening the requested page.

There is some ambiguity as to the DNS entry so I've patched it to read:

12. Select the DNS tab
13. In the DNS Servers section, click Add
14. In the highlighted text box enter your ISP's DNS
15. If you have a second DNS, repeat the process
16. Click Close
17. Ensure the connection is ticked in the connections tab and your modem connection should now connect
18. Click Close

If this still doesn't work or you need to make any changes, let me know - I don't have a modem connection to test this with.
