===Getting into the Configuration===
'''Either'''
# Go to a location where it occurs naturally.
## No [[School server]].
## No AP.
## No MPP.
# Force the laptops into it manually.
## Go to the root menu in one of the terminals
## Create file <tt>/etc/NetworkManager/mesh-start</tt> on all laptops (tests should be done with at least 2 XO's and preferably 3)
## w/ text:
##* <tt>local</tt>
## Reboot the laptop.

===Checking that laptops are in the local Configuration===

# The file <tt>/etc/resolv.conf</tt> should be empty.
# The laptop should have a bad IP address: {{pending|to check...}}
## Type <tt>ifconfig</tt> in a terminal.
## Second line of <tt>msh0</tt> has the address.
## If it starts with <tt>169.xx.yy.zz</tt> it is bad. (<tt>172.xx.yy.zz</tt> is good)
## Alternatively: laptop should not be able to browse the internet.
# The laptop should only see other XO's, which are nearby, in the mesh view.
#* in the future: should only see nearby laptops also on local network, and not those [[connected to AP]]s or [[School server]].
