  Yama,

  These three numbers are "channels". (Different frequency bands
around 2.4GHz, if I understand correctly).

  Like TV channels, one laptop tune in one of these channels and
cannot talk to others on other channels.  (If I understand correctly,
you can have a hub.)

  I think so, too.

  That is a bummer.

  Do you know what version of system dou you have?  If one user choose
share with my neighborhood from Etoys, the Etoys shooting star icon
shows up on the mesh view on another XO, yes?  Then, the other user
can click on the star, and each of them should see a small "badge" on
screen.  There the other user (the second user should be able to click
on the small "S" button and the screen will be shared.  It is slow and
not very usable, but that is how you start the shared screen.
