This patch (created for 2.0; also applies to the dev version) changes 
the LAN tab (rather than the metaserver tab) to be the default in the 
"connect to network server" pane.

The reason for this is that the metaserver tab blocks while the lan tab 
does not.  Thus it is easier to switch from the lan tab to the 
metaserver tab.  If the metaserver is down it is IMPOSSIBLE to switch 
from the metaserver tab to the lan tab.

Of course it would be better for the metaserver tab not to block.  There 
is a separate patch to do this but it's not perfect since DNS lookups 
still block.  So this change is still needed.

The patch is simple cut-and-paste.
