Screenshot of f1 Network-Neighborhood on jabber.png

  • 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 Mesh connections
  • There should be other unfilled colored circles (with or without a lock symbol)
These are Wireless Access Points
  • You are connected to the circle with a ( O ) marking (RED in this Screen-Shot)
  • You can click on any of these circles and sugar will try to connect to it.
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.
