Hi
i have setup my wireless net at home and have been reading a bit into
security, it left me wondering about whether to broadcast the ssid from the
router.
there are a few wireless networks in the neighbourhood and i can see them
from my laptop, i can also see they have no security setup which seems a bit
mad
Now if i can see theirs then they can obviously see mine, so if i turn off
broadcast ssid on my router, then they cant see the network in the available
list (i hope this true!) but how do i connect to it if it does not
automatically appear in the available networks
Cheers and TIA
