===Connecting to the Internet===
Connecting to the Internet with Sugar depends on the computer and networking available to it. See [http://en.flossmanuals.net/sugar/ch023_getting-connected/ Getting Connected] to get started.
For the XO laptop, please refer to this [[olpc:Wifi_Connectivity|OLPC page]].
For a conventional laptop running Sugar, connecting through an access point works. (Mesh support is becoming available on more machines.) Depending upon which [[olpc:Community Jabber Servers|Jabber server]] you are connected to, you'll see different collections of "neighbors" in the [http://en.flossmanuals.net/sugar/ch009_neighbourhood-view/ Neighborhood View].

In this context configuration means "the arrangement of the parts of Sugar". In Sugar most of this has been done for us. You can start to explore as soon as you like, but it is a good thing to learn the steps we take to configure our system. This way we won't be intimidated when we come to configure the next operating system we meet.
In the Sugar Activity Browse or Surf you can make these configuration changes '''while''' you are still reading this.
Press the Function key F4. What Happened?
Nothing, F4 brings you back to the Activity you were last working on.
If you now press F3 you will leave me, you will come back by pressing F4. Try it.
Next, press F3 and see if you can follow these instructions.
* Sugar on a Stick uses by default the ''English (USA)'' keyboard layout.

*:From the My Settings control panel you will see a 'Keyboard' control tool that will allow you to change the default keyboard layout.
