* '''You are represented by the XO avatar in the center of the screen.'''
:you will be automatically connected to the internet when you boot sugar
*: Hover the pointer on it and the same pop-up palette menu will appear as in the '''Home''' view version of the avatar.
:There will be no indication of this connection from Network Manager.
*: All the other XO avatars are other Learners on the network.
*: A Learner's name will be displayed when you hover over any avatar.
'''Sugar can make 3 types of network connections.'''
# '''Ad hoc''' - You should see 3 circles with different center symbols (representing [[wikipedia:Maya numerals|Maya numerals]]):
#: A single dot - channel 1; a single dot with a bar - channel 6; a single dot with 2 bars - channel 11.
#: These are [[Features/Ad_hoc_Networking|'''Ad hoc''']] connections.
#: They allow Sugar to connect Learners in radio range of each other without an Internet connection.
#: Sugar is connected to Ad-hoc Network 1; a color-filled circle with a single dot surrounded by two wave fronts.<br><br>[[File:Screenshot_of_Ad-Hoc.png|600px]]<br>
# '''[[Documentation_Team/User_Manual/Connecting_to_the_Internet|'''Wireless Access Points''']] - These may be present as color-filled circles (with or without a lock symbol).
#: These are the Wireless Access Points.
#: Wireless Access Points may not be present if there is no working wireless hardware in your computer or there are no Wireless Access Points in range of the computer.<br><br>[[File:Wireless_Access_Point.png|600px]]
#* You can click on any of these circles and Sugar will try to connect to the radio source.
#*: A pop-up palette menu will appear with an option to '''Connect'''.
#*: A secondary palette menu will let you set the encryption type
#*: and ask for a password if the "''Wireless Access Point''' requires a password.
#* Click '''(OK)'''
#*: A successful connection will show wave fronts on each side of the '''Wireless Access Point''' circle you selected.
# '''Wired network''' - If you are plugged into an active wired connection
#: you will be automatically connected to the Internet when you boot Sugar.
#: There will be no indication of this connection from Network Manager software.
