In trying to demo the XO to people I run into a recurring problem (it 
doesn't seem to be version specfic) where one XO can see the other, but 
not vice versa.

I do not have a school server and antenna around, but have seen the 
problem when machines are connected via the mesh and when connected to 
standard wifi.

I have even been able to join an activity fromone laptop while not being 
able to see the joining laptop in the other direction, so I know they can 
see each other at the network layer.

At SCALE I was seeing systems that showed up as XO laptops, but later 
spoke to the people who's names showed up and they don't have XO's (in one 
case I found the only machine the person had was a MAC)

any suggestions on where to start/
