Jack thanks for the link to the MS article, I will try the registry
hack, yes I always setup Wi-Fi connections with no security set
initially just in case there are problems such as this.
But I have never seen the "hidden network" msg before, so I am
wondering if this is a Vista thing and some setting[s] are amiss
somewhere ?. What are your thoughts.
