| 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.
