Mary,<br>If you want to remove any 'memory' of connecting to a particular access point, go into the terminal activity and delete the network manager config file:<br><br>1 - start up the 'terminal' activity<br>
2 - type: rm /home/olpc/.sugar/default/nm/networks.cfg (you can cat this file to see what is in it).<br><br>Now when you reboot or restart sugar (ctl-alt-delete); your laptop will not automatically try to connect to the 'known' access point.

<br>I have my normal (linksys) router with WPA security. Obviously, I couldn't get that to work (I didn't try the manual method yet).<br><br>I also have a travel D-Link (DWL730-AP) router - so I connected it at home and re-configured it to WEP - with a 64bit key set to all zeroes (I didn't want the network un-secured, but I didn't want to complicate things either!).
<br><br>This worked great when I connected the XO.<br><br>However - I did encounter a weird experience, which may be related to an issue I read somewhere, either in the tickets or this forum.<br><br>I was using the D-Link web based config utility to set up the router using my normal laptop (connected wirelessly) - it would seem to work fine - I'd refresh the wireless networks view (I'm in XP) and re-connect to the router. It would seem to connect, but I could not actually get any web page to come up (page not displayed error). I tried re-setting the cable modem, the router (hard reset and re-configure), re-booted the machine - I kept having the same problems.
<br><br>During this whole time, the XO was on. Something made me try to connect with the XO. I clicked on my circle, entered the key (and I'm sorry, but I don't remember the selections I made on the key-entry popup), a couple of blinks of the outer circle, and that outer circle turned white! (which, by the way, is kind of hard to see) I went in to 'browse' and everything worked fine.
<br><br>The crazy part here is that - believe it or not - my laptop connection started working also. I did nothing but hit refresh in IE on a page I'd tried to bring up before, and it worked fine.<br><br>Now - to my point :) -
<br><br>If someone could tell me how to 'undo' my connection on the XO - I could try to reproduce this whole sequence of events - if I can re-create the same behavior, it may help in troubleshooting some of the issues people are having.
<br><br>Let me know if I can help.<br><br>Mary<br><br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>community-support mailing list<br><a href="mailto:community-support@lists.laptop.org">community-support@lists.laptop.org
