I'm using Windows XP SP2 and I have an AP that the SSID braodcast has been turned off. I have no control over this, and turning on the SSID broadcast is not an option (not my AP). The trick is, I need Windows XP wireless client to connect to it. From my understanding, MS's official stance is that the SSID has to be turned on to have it connect. I've never been able to get it to work, but I have guys that work with me that swear they have it working at home (Windows XP SP2 connect to a non broadcasted SSID AP). Anyway, is it possible for Windows XP SP2 to connect to an AP that is not broadcasting its SSID? If so, is there any trick to doing it?
