I think it's time that I put up or shut up. I've got a wireless box, unused, here that belongs to a client. I'm supposed to install it in a couple of weeks. I'll try to set it up without an SSID and then connect to it from my laptop.
I love a good challenge...almost as much as I love being stupid. It's so easy! I'll report back with my findings...unless I prove I'm wrong in which case you'll never hear from me again, on this subject. Mike > Could be my drugs, too.
