</div></div>Very tricky. The Sugar side won't wandle this situation very well at<br>
all. GNOME can handle it.<br>
<br>
Under Sugar<br>
<br>
- You may be able to set the proxy setting with a pac file. Pia Waugh<br>
reported once that it worked with 8.2.1, but I don't think she<br>
documented it.<br>
<br>
- Hidden SSIDs are not handled well at all by Sugar's network neighbourhood.<br>
