I don't think that's a reasonable fall-back. The hassle of having to
set up the network in a language that the user may not understand far
outweighs the potential benefit of having an automatic hint on the
map.

Agree. Still, how many (apart from dial-up users perhaps) would have to
set up the network manually? If we take a single PC, connected to the
internet, somewhere there will likely be a DHCP service, either in the
router or direct from the provider.

Wifi. And network card setup. For example, my computer has two cards, one disconnected. Automatic discovery would take a longish time.

I think that the idea of displaying a map upfront is nice. Geodiscovery too, but it is not so simple. Perhaps if the network can be tried in the background, and if found guess the location, but else, nothing.
