I have a Cisco Router with Wifi.  I do not broadcast the SSID.  I cannot 
find in XP "connect" anything that allows me to enter the SSID and 
encryption key.  It only allows me to select from the ones that windows 
find.

I do not have Windows XP to check the following works but I also read
some forum posts and manual configuration will work.

An online search of:

Thank you.  Not sure why I didn't see it.  Probably my anti-windows, 
pro-linux attitude.
