===Connecting to the Internet===

===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:

*Wireless access point (Wi-Fi hotspot);

*“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.

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

Read the [[Documentation Team/User Manual/Connecting to the Internet|Connecting to the Internet page]] for detailed instructions.
