When did you order the xo? I’m wondering when mine will arrive.

Thanks, Rachel!

Haven’t looked at the forums. The XO has issues with Apple Extreme networks (oops, that’s ours) and I spent a couple hours Saturday dealing with the network because I was fiddling with settings without knowing where I had a hard copy (or even a local digital one) of our Speakeasy network configuration … and had to set everything back to default. Bleh.

Still haven’t gotten it to connect to the Net with the new configuration.

But I “see” it with the Macs. Haven’t tried to see it with the PeeCee.

the mesh networks you see are defaults (would be the closest XO’s if there were any around) according to the info on the forums at http://www.laptop.org/forums
I saw my XO show up on my windows networking list but so I know my XO is available to other XO’s.
I had no problem figuring out the networking but then mine hasn’t had any issues. I spend a lot of time in terminal though. : )
And I just haven’t quiet gotten the hang of the two tam tam activities yet, though I’ve got the editor going fairly well.
