Netgear WG121 and ssid broadcast

I currently have a Netgear WG121 usb 2 adapter connecting to a netgear DG834G wireless router. Also using Windows XP SP2 and the latest drivers (ver 2.0) for the adapter.

If i disable ssid broadcast, the adapter does not connect, it scans all the channels but is not able to connect using WPA-PSK encryption. If I enable ssid broadcast then the machine connects successfully.

Is there a way for it to work without broadcasting the ssid?
