<p><img title="neighborhood_view_connected_menu_1" alt="neighborhood_view_connected_menu_1" src="./Sugar/neighborhood_view_connected_menu_1.png" height="413" width="600" />

Shared Activities</dt><dd> You can join an Activity by clicking the Activity's icon. Shared Activities appear as icons in the Neighborhood View.</dd><dt>3. XO icon</dt><dd> Other Sugar users appear in the Neighborhood View. By hovering over an XO icon, you can discover the nickname of that person and can add them as a friend or invite them to join you in a shared activity. </dd><dt>4. Mesh icon</dt><dd> A mesh icon lets you connect to a school server or other computers on a mesh (802.11s) network.&nbsp; The OLPC XO 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.
<br /> </dd><dt>5. Access point</dt><dd> WiFi hot spots (Internet access points) appear as circles in the Neighborhood view. If you hover over a circle, the name of the access point (the ESSID it broadcasts) appears.</dd></dl>
<ul>
  <li>To connect to a hot spot, click the circle. If the circle shows a lock symbol, expect to be prompted to enter a key or password.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; By clicking on an Access point you are indicating that you do not want to collaborate through a mesh network - which other XO icons are shown may change accordingly.
  <br /></li>
  <li>To disconnect, hover over the circle, and choose Disconnect on the menu.&nbsp; Or hover over the icon in the Frame, and choose Disconnect on the menu.
  <br /></li>
