Easily disable network connections when necessary
My guess is that you switched over to dialup without turning off ethernet. OS X supports multiple network interfaces at one time. By switching to dialup, you probably left ethernet as active as well. So you'd still have a valid ethernet connection and a dialup connection with nowhere to go.
