You shouldn't always show a log-in panel in your application either;
Mac OS X has the Keychain for secure storage of user credentials, you
should only ask the user to log in to your service if there's no
stored credential or they've done something like reset their password.
And instead of checking network connectivity, your application should
just try to use the network and fail gracefully when it's not
available. After all, it could go away between when you check and
actually start using it, or while you're using it - at that point,
what does checking get you?

Thanks everyone for answering !
Actually I was thinking on making a Splash Screen until app loading
and when ready to do some kind of transition (like cube rotate that
OS X uses) to the login window
It wouldn't display Splash Screen for long because login window is
simple except for network connection checking because app should be
able to use network resources
