I agree that it would be nice if Moz could tell on it's own. But there
are times when you'll have no way of knowing. Here's a potentially
common example:
Small home network with a modem in one machine. The machine with the
modem is running (Win98SE/WinME/Win2K). When dialed in, this machine
uses Internet Connection Sharing (NAT & DHCP server) so the others can
access the 'net. The other machines on the home network get IPs in the
range: 192.168.0.2+ If you're running Moz on one of the other machines,
you have no way of telling which ISP the modem is dialed into, your IP
doesn't change.
So even if Moz can detect this automatically (which would be good),
there will still need to be a way to specify for situations where it
can't detect, or worse: detects incorrectly.
