Is closed mode when you close all your ports so ALL TRAFFIC IS BLOCKED, IN AND OUT, making it impossible to do anything? If that is what your refering to then think about it logically, no traffic yet you want to access the net...
'Closed mode' usually means that the beacon frames are still broadcast, but the SSID element of them is hidden (zeroed or removed; I haven't checked that). In addition, the AP might not send probe responses to probe requests that do not have the correct SSID
I haven't heard this called closed mode before.
on a side note- after searching google and it not returning anything obviously useful, has anyone else noticed a downfall in the usefulness of google lately? it seems to not return the same level of useful results at the top of your search. I no longer "feel lucky" when I google.
