I just tried to reproduce:

Just let the very first DNS request for josm.openstreetmap.org
fail/timeout - You get a popup "Network errors occured"
and "Change proxy setting". This is abolute nonesense. I dont
use any proxy - A simple DNS query failed - Thats life. I might
even be offline - that would be perfectly allright.

I could use josm afterwards pressing cancel on the "Change proxy
settings" but i have situation where this does not work and
i cant up-/download data.

That's the standard dialog, as most issues are proxy settings. 
Improvements to the wording are always welcome.

Either report a bug describing an issue or stop complaining about JOSM 
problems. You seem to have an instable network connection, but that's not 
our fault. It's not JOSM's task to fix your network.
