If i wanted to network me wii on a wireless network (say netgear 834g or somet) and the network was encrypted with one of the new fancy network protocalls (wpa etc) and was 'hidden' and basically had ALL the max wireless security, would wii still connect ?

Wii supports WEP and WPA if that's what you mean. And you can specify an SSID.

It also supports MAC address filtering as there is a screen where you can view the Wii's MAC address.
