This one should of gone in the Microsoft Windows forum.

Let me get this right, you want Mozilla to connect to the internet before it opens up.

Just something for you to take note:

Right Mozilla is just a Web browser that has how become more popular than Internet Explorer, which was created by the same people that later founded Netscape.

So it's not a Internet service provider. Which means you will have to connect to the internet with your Internet service provider  that you have sign up to. i.e Wanadoo, AOL and so on.

So at the end of the day, Mozilla is just a replacement for Internet Explorer.

Hope this has made it a bit clear for you.

One last thing, go for Firefox.

Autodial is enabled by default on Windows XP

To check your autodial,

1. click Start => Control Panel and then double-click Network Connections.
2. On the Advanced menu, click Dial-up Preferences.
3. On the Autodial tab, select the check box next to the location where you want to enable autodial, and then click OK.

If it doesn't work for you you will need to enable some required services. The easiest way to do it is to use the following batch file

Copy the code below into a new NotePad file and Save As All Files Dialup.cmd

@echo off
sc config RasMan start= auto
sc config RasAuto start= auto
sc config TapiSrv start= auto
sc start RasMan
sc start RasAuto
sc start TapiSrv
exit

Double click on the saved file to make the change

Akkers, that post reads like the people who created IE went on to create Netscape. Bit of a slip, methinks.
