[olpc-help] OLPC Tech Help

[Steve Holton]

Hi Kelsey-
**
The XO was really designed only to connect to other XO's (through mesh
networking) or to a School server (through mesh networking or through a WiFi
connection to a supported wireless access point configured in a limited
number of ways.)

Since you've previously seen it connect to your wireless access point, there
a good chance it's just a configuration problem, rather than the more
serious chipset incompatibilities reported elsewhere.

The first thing I'd check is the version of XO software you're using. If
you're planning to connect using WEP, you really want to be using the 656
release.

If you have previously updated the software, you might have toggled-back to
the former release (holding the 'circle' gamepad key when powering on) and
that would explain being unable to connect now when you had successfully
connected before.

Or have you changed any of the settings on your wireless access point?
