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 3; circle with a ( O )and 2 underscores

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 no working wireless Hardware in your equipment
Or there is no Wireless Access Point in Range

3-)If you are plugged in to a cat-5 wired network connection

you will be automatically connected to the internet when you boot sugar
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
