    I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 v.4 wireless (802.11b) router. It works okay, but when i try to change the default SSID from "linksys" to something else (like "test"), my laptop no longer finds it in the list of access points! :( (there are about six different APs in range here in my apartment complex). Has anyone experienced anything like this? I want to be able to change my SSID and then stop broadcasting it.

    Also, how do I use WPA in WinXP SP2?

    Meh....hate problems like that, my only experience is with netgears, and often times, if you're changing the settings, and they're not changing properly, a reset of the router's needed. And at that, I would say Netgear's firmware would be better than Linksys'.

    As for using WPA with XP SP 2...
