This could be your problem. Your "local domain" is not the same 
as "ESSID". ESSID is set in your access point settings. It's 
just a name you can give to your wireless lan network - you can 
also make it non-broadcastable, so one has to know it before 
they can connect. Don't mistake that feature for strong 
security, because it's easily cracked, but it does a little to 
discourage the casual road-warrior. If you already know all 
this, pass me the gin... ;-)
