What needs to be done to get the my primary network to not advertise?

I've configured my Airport Extreme and Express (for extra range)  and created two networks.  The idea being one would be private and one guest (both require a security key).  I don't mind my guest advertising.  I'd like my private network to not advertise.  I'm about to add a second Airport Express as I need the extra range.  Since I'm going to need to configure that anyway, now would be the time to address the advertising issue around my private network - any suggestions?
thanks

I can understand why some Apple users want to "hide" their networks since Apple's default settings include the name of the user. For example.....
John Smith's Wireless Network
Personally, I could care less that my neighbors see the name of my network.......TWNDB.
It is true that "hiding" the name of the network might keep a few honest neighbors from seeing the name of the network. But, those are probably not the guys that you need to worry about.
In a way, "hiding" your network just creates a larger attraction for the bad guys. They reason that since you are trying to hide your network, there must be more to discover there....and they target you first.

  • What do I do when I get the message my printer is not connected? HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One

    What do I do when I get the message my printer is not connected when I want to print wirelessly.? HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One.  I have a macintosh computer using snow leopard.  I have used the printer for 6 months.  Nothing has changed.  I shut off the printer and turned it on.  The internet is working altough I will turn it off and on.  What do I do next?  Thank you.

    The easiest and fastest thing for you is to reset the printer to its defaults and then just install the printer again following the instructions in the manual when you received it.  If you don't have these you will find this on the HP web site.

  • Cannot Enter Text - no matter what I do, I don't get the blinking curser

    No matter what I do, after I get my bounding box drawn, the blinking cursor doesn't appear.  I've set the font so huge, it should.  I've entered text in images before so I cannot for the life of me figure out what's going on.

    Welcome to the forum.
    You are in Titler, aren't you?
    When you have created the Text Box, do you still see the Text Tool selected?
    What font have you chosen?
    What is the font's Size?

    It may be worth asking Apple via Express Lane, but I suspect it may mean you doing your journals again. I was just trying to determine whether the files you see in 'manage' are all your journals or just those you created after expanding your space. If they are all your journals, you may want to delete them before you create to many more, if you need to delete them later to free up space, you may well lose all your journals.

    why would you say things like that here? if you are a windows one then stay there. but you are not polite or helpful and if can't use Apple i wonder why you would come here to tell all about your sad story. I don't understand that it has nothing to do with question asked.
    I own, or should I say have owned, several Apple products. Including a new MBP.
    I also use Windows.
    I will say anything I like in an effort to help people overcome problems they are having with Mac's and computers in general.
    Being a Apple Fanboy is not required for membership on this forum or trying to help other Mac users.
    And just how is suggesting to remove Lion and to go back to Snow Leopard not helping the OP in his quest to make his already owned and paid for MS Office software work? If it is isn't broken stop trying to fix it. Snow Leopard is a fine OS. Lion is still in Beta, only Apple hasn't told anyone. And yes I run Lion on my new MBP but I also have a partition with Snow Leopard on it.
    Thank you and have a great day.
