Hmm... I have Sugar on three Macbooks. I removed the sugar labs server<br>
address from all three and verified that I could get on the internet. I<br>
could not see the other Mac books.<br>

That is a problem. How were you running Sugar? In Virtualbox? If so, one<br>
of our Virtualbox experts will have to work with you on network topology<br>
issues. (The problem could be that Virtualbox is running the virtual<br>
machine "behind a firewall", rather than giving it direct access to the<br>
local network.)<br>

FWIW, I use these network settings. There are a number of different ways to get a working network, but this one seemed closest equivalent to being 'just another laptop on the network'.<br>
<br>

One thing to note, is that VirtualBox does not represent wireless interfaces specially as wireless interfaces. It just treats them like a wired ethernet connection. No big downsides to this, but you will see the Sugar frame showing a "Wired Network" icon, and you will not see any wireless access points showing up in the Neighbourhood view – you need to be correctly connect to your network access point over in OS X.<br>
