(what connects you to the Internet) using the search menu.
2. Ad-Hoc network icon: An ad-hoc network lets you connect to other
computers on a network.
3. Access point: WiFi hot spots (Internet access points) appear as
circles in the Neighborhood view. If you hover over a circle, the
name of the network appears. Each circle has another color inside,
the more full the inside color, the better the connection. To
connect to a network, click the circle. If the circle shows a lock
symbol, expect to enter a key or password. The inside of the circle
blinks while your system tries to connect. Once you are connected,
an icon for the connection will appear at bottom right of the Frame.
To disconnect, hover over the circle, and choose Disconnect on the
menu. Or hover over the icon in the Frame, and choose Disconnect
there. (OLPC XO-1 Note: The XO-1 laptop has three mesh network
channels. By clicking on a mesh icon you join that particular mesh
network, and disconnect from an Access point network. The other XO
icons are shown will change according to who is on that network.)

Neighborhood View and you can join them by clicking the
corresponding icon.
