Boot your Sugar on a Stick (SoaS); Soas CD; Sugar-emulator; Sugar-Desktop; VirtualBox Appliance of SoaS; or XO-1-1.5

Hit F1 key and you switch to the Jabber Network Neighborhood View

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

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.

XO-1 and XO-1.5 have no wired connection only wireless (1 or 2 above)

hit f3 and return to the main screen
