The reason I ask this is that without any user action, XO-1 and XO-1.5
laptops do not automatically connect.

XO-1 and XO-1.5 laptops may be connected through a wireless access
point.  Is this how they are connected?  You select this method by
clicking on the icon for the wireless access point in the Neighbourhood
View.

They may also be connected through a wired ethernet switch.  Is this how
they are connected?  You select this method by inserting an ethernet
cable via a USB adaptor.

XO-1 mesh network cannot be used by XO-1.5 laptops.  Although the XO-1.5
laptops detect the mesh network, they cannot join it.  You select this
method on XO-1 by clicking on the icon for the mesh network channel in
the Neighbourhood View.

XO-1.5 ad-hoc network cannot be used by XO-1 laptops.  The XO-1 laptops
do not detect the ad-hoc network.  You select this method by right-click
on network icon in Frame.

If the icon does not appear, then the laptops do not share any network
connection, and activity sharing (such as Chat) will not work.
