AirPort is doing my nut in (again)

If anybody knows the answer to this, I'd greatly appreciate it!

How do I set up my AirPort base stations so that the name of the network doesn't appear in the drop down menu?

I've checked that 'Create closed network' is ticked for all the base stations but still the name of the network appears in the menu bar drop down.

AirPort doesn't seem to benefit from Apple's 'Legendary Ease of Use'.
OK, can I have my matte Apple display, now?

Umm...if you're connected to it, of course it will appear. Do you have the name and password set up in your Preferred Networks list under Network preferences? My network never shows up on machines that aren't set up to be on it.
