===Connecting to the Internet===


Connecting to the Internet is something that somewhat falls between the cracks of Sugar and the computer it's running on.
New paragraph is an improvement.
 
On the XO laptop, there are three ways to connect to the Internet:
*Wireless access point (Wi-Fi hotspot);
*“School Server” mesh network; or
*“simple” mesh network, which lets you collaborate directly with other XOs running Sugar.
 
From 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 Neighborhood View.
 
Read the [[Documentation Team/User Manual/Connecting to the Internet|Connecting to the Internet page]] for detailed instructions.
