Sometimes this is caused by a local configuration or filtering problem
with your service provider.

To test by exclusion, set up an SSH tunnel to your shell.sugarlabs.org
account:

	ssh -D 9000 shell.sugarlabs.org

Then in Firefox, Preferences, Advanced, Network, Connection, Settings,
set Manual proxy configuration, set SOCKS Host to localhost, and port
to 9000, and set SOCKS v5.

Then test wiki.sugarlabs.org again.

For this type of proxy, before login, the Wiki shows IP address of
2001:4830:134:7:0:0:0:11
