===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~~.

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.

On the XO laptop, ~~there are three ways~~ to ~~connect to the Internet~~:

For the XO laptop, please refer to this [[olpc:Wifi_Connectivity|OLPC page]].

*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.
