You are the XO in the center.

Hover on it and the same drop-down menu will appear as in f3

All the other XO figures are other users on the jabber network

Their name will be displayed if you hover over each one.

• Sugar uses 3 classes of connections:

1-)You should see 3 circles with a filling:

Circle with a dot;Circle with a dot and underscore;Circle with a dot and 2 underscores.

These are Ad-Hoc connections.

That let sugar connect users locally with no Internet Connection

Sugar is connected to AD-Hoc network 1; circle with a ( O ) marking (RED in this Screen-Shot)

2-)There should be other unfilled colored circles (with or without a lock symbol)

These are Wireless Access Points

• You can click on any of these circles and sugar will try to connect to it.

A drop down menu will appear; asking for password if the AP requires a password; and a selection to "Connect"

These will be missing if there is now working wireless Hardware in your equipment

3-)If you have a cat-5 wired network connection

you will be automatically connected to the internet

There will be no indication of this connection from Network Manager.
