 [[BR]]I'm not sure what "complete network access" means, but of course
 there will be situations where the XO is under a tree by itself, with NO
 network access.

 Further, I expect there might be other users with setups like mine - if I
 can figure out how, I will run with static network addresses - *without*
 any DHCP server.  Also, even today for OFW to get responses from the
 (temporary) DHCP server I have on my LAN will not enable it to access the
 outside world (i.e., the internet) -- since my connection passes through a
 proxy that the DHCP server never reports.
