Connecting
Thanks to network connections, you and your XO are going places while staying close to home.
Your XO connects to and networks with other computers. The XO can take up to five minutes to find network connections. While it's searching, the inside of a colored circle or triangle icon blinks. You might need to ask your teacher what to enter if your XO asks you to enter an access key.
While your XO remains connected, the outline of the shape blinks.

More information about your XO's connection:
- If you connect to an wireless network, your laptop becomes a network point; other XO laptops within about 100 meters can connect to the Internet through your XO laptop.
- Similarly, if there is another XO connected to the Internet nearby, you can connect to that XO laptop—and the Internet—through the other XO.
- If there are no Internet network points available after five minutes of searching, your XO laptop defaults to Channel 1, which enables your XO laptop to connect to other XO laptops.
- Please be patient; it can take your XO up to five minutes to find a good connection.
