Turning off the SSID, or the Network Name, does help protect your LAN from the average user. There are devices and computer programs however that more advanced users could use to "sniff" out your wireless network. It is always recommended that you protect your network with a private WEP or WPA/WPA2 network key regardless of your SSID state.

D-link router workes wired with my desktop xp but not wireless. Any suggestions as to how to get wireless to work?

You need to make sure that the wireless option is on. Some routers allow turning off wireless interface. For that you need to log in your router and check setting for wireless. If it appears that everything is working you need to get a computer with a wireless card which you know works for sure. Try finding your wireless network. Also make sure that when you set up your wireless network you start from unsecured network just to make sure that your router is working. Also make sure that option "Allow broadcast" is on. You can disable it later when you switch to secured type of network. If nothing works try resetting the router, how to do that should be written in the manual. Firmware update might help too.
