I have an MN-500 base and an MN-520 adaptor. I connect
fine when SSID broadcast is enabled. However, when SSID
broadcast is disabled, I can't connect. I'd prefer not to
broadcast my SSID to the outside world. How do I connect
to my network with SSID broadcast disabled?
Thanks,

JB

Same feeling here. I would prefer to have SSID off.
However, the last firmware upgrade does not work with
SSID off (known problem). You may want to call MS about
it, and/or ensure that you have MAC and WEP filtering
turned on.
