Program settings - Network settings

In this category of settings you will find settings responsible for the general functioning of network connections with the Internet in Spider. You will find the following groups of settings here:

Asking for a connection

This group is about how to connect to the Internet. Here you will find three options: you can tell the program to always ask for an available connection or only if it is not detected.
