Get to know about WEP, SSID hiding, and MAC address filtering to make your network as secure as possible.

Eventually got the Wireless card on the Laptop to work, but what is this SSID hiding, and how can I do it? (The reason I ask is that the wife got a knock from a neighbour who told her that we "were broadcasting on the internet" - our surname is in the SSID, that's how she knew it was us! I was in the middle of a Headteacher selection panel mtg at the time, and got "beeped"
. When I eventually got home, I showed her that our neighbours were doing the same i.e "broadcasting" their SSID! Our WEP is set at 128 encryption!!)
