In fact, I would probably do the downloads again, just to be sure one of the files is not corrupted. Then using a fully charged XO with the power plugged in too, follow these instructions: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/10.1.3#XO-1

If it sees nothing, go into the control panel and check the network settings to be sure the "radio on" is checked. If you have a password it will need to be entered and you may have to tell it what type it is (not sure if 860 asks that).  The good news is that once the XO has successfully connected, it will usually do it automatically when you start up.
