"school": does not connect to "http//schoolserver"but does link to "http://schoolserver.org" if .org is added to search line.

That's the intended behaviour, thanks.

When a schoolserver is available on the local network, the name is resolved and a connection is made.

When a schoolserver is not available, there is no page loaded.

On OLPC OS, a derivative of Sugar, we add the word "Local " in front of "schoolserver", and this is done by /usr/bin/olpc-library-update in the olpc-library package.

I can't see how this discussion does anything add confusion.

Sugar with the Browse activity can be a client of a server on a public or private network. The http://schoolserver.org is a private domain registered with the Internet in a Box team. However, http:schoolserver is normally assigned by dns to 172.18.96.1 which by convention assigned to the schoolserver on a private local network.

Cerntainly, the suggestion that http://schoolserver and http://schoolserver.org are somehow alternatives is a terrible idea.

@satellitee, test the link with a schoolserver on your network. If it doesn't work, then check your virtual machine networking and mDNS configuration and then raise a ticket with the team that provided the schoolserver.
