 ===== Starting the Network.. =====
-AmbientTalk provides an unique native object, named ''network'',  that responds to two methods that control the network access to an AmbientTalk virtual machine. More specifically, ''network.online()'' and ''network.offline()'' make the interpreter go online and offline, respectively. When the interpreter goes online, this allows the built-in discovery lookup mechanism to export the local objects and let local objects to find other remote objects. AmbientTalk's discovery support will be further explained in the following section. Taking offline a virtual machine breaks immediately the connections with other virtual machines and thus, all remote reference between them are disconnected. This is a deliberate design choice made to facilitate the simulation of transient disconnections.
