Click on the Connections tab if you wish to specify which Internet connection to use with this account you have just created. The Astrohosts servers should work with any Internet connection so it is possible to leave this box unticked but if you wish to specify a particular connection or ISP tick the box and select the appropriate connection from the drop-down menu.

Hint: If you connect to the Internet using ADSL or a cable modem you should probably select Local Area Network.
