Okay, yes, it looks like an @ on a spring...that's a URL icon.
Your mention of "internet connect" was confusing because Internet Connect is an application, different from the browsers like Camino and Safari that you're really talking about.
Like I said in my previous post, you can drag any URL to the Dock and create a new icon for that URL, just like you used to have.
You can also open a new browser by hitting Command-N. (Command is the key with the apple on it.)
