[Sugar-devel] Cannot connect to internet on school server

[Athar Haque]

Hey,

Following the steps solved my problem and I am able to connect to the
internet. Thanks a lot for your help. Once I install my project, I will be
able to see whether the sugar-telepathy is working on the server or to
start a new thread.
