Is there a way to connect kids to other kids in the world using XO's? XO pen pals? We have English/Spanish capability in our household.

There is someone working on an activity compatible with the EPals pen-pal site. I'm not sure how complete the activity is, but it seems like it might be a good way to communicate with kids in other countries (not necessarily limited to kids with XOs). —Joe 14:44, 26 December 2007 (EST)

I'm having trouble connecting to my home network. I see it in the neighborhood on the XO. I click on the circle for my home network. I get a message telling me a wireless encrption key is required. I enter the key in the box. I click OK. Nothing happens. The dialog box stays on the screen, my wireless network's circle keeps flashing. I've tried both Automatic Encryption and TKIP (the only other option on the drop down), and get the same result either way. When we first got the laptop we were able to log into open networks at hotels. I'm sure I'm using the right encryption key because I've been able to connect to the network wirelessly with a conventional laptop.Any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks!!
