For the schoolserver (and other jabber-based environments), wouldn't the
best check be to see if there is a working gabble connection and that we
are not on salut?
It seems like a lot of people are trying to guess how deployments like
to configure their networks (DNS, ICMP ping support to gateway and/or
Internet, HTTP, etc.). As at least a few deployments have shown us
(hidden SSIDs, HTTP Proxies, cellular modem routing requests, MAC-based
network restrictions limited to XOs, etc.), our initial guesses are
often wrong.
Personally, I think we might want to separate this out into a basic icon
sort of check in the frame, and a more advanced control panel for
adults/teachers which can do tests and explain things in more detail.

Good point in general. To what is trying to get solved, I'd word it as
"Sugar UI should make network _affordances_ discoverable".
We can get a rough initial version with a ping to 'schoolserver', and
a ping to a configurable internet host.
