    I'm a new convert to Vista. Upon trying to connect to a wireless router with the "broadcast ssid" feature set to off, Vista doesn't see the wireless network. However, if I set the "broadcast ssid" feature to on, Vista sees the network and connects. Why is this happening? XP SP2 works just fine in either setting. Is it possible to remedy this issue?

    Edit:

    Found it.
