Hello, I have WPA enabled with MAC address filtering, however I'd like to
disable the SSID broadcast. When I disable it, my computers cannot connect
to the network because they do not see it on the network list. When I go to
advanced options, I see that my network with the key stored but the
computers still wont connect automatically, they can only cannect to
available networks, and those are the ones with enabled SSID broadcasting.
I have windows xp w/ SP2. Do I have to use a third party program to force
my adapters to connect to a network they dont see? I'd really rather
windows do it, if I just knew how. Thanks for any suggestions.
