The SSID is the name of your network. What are you trying to name it?

That shouldn't be happening... have you tried restarting? Also, try a 5 or 8 letter name in small letters -- your SSID shouldn't have any restrictions like this, but you never know...

and your sure that your not using any invalid characters like spaces or dashes or anything? I just googled the problems and it really did not give me anything on it. I will continue to look and see what i can find.

Sorry i could not find anything for you on this. I have a wireless network but i only use it for the internet which doesn't really require any set up like if you want to transfer files. For file transfer i have a 4GB flash drive that does the trick just as well.

You may want to go out and find a home networking program, there are a few out there and once installed it will find any computer on your network and set everything up in very easy steps for you.
like this one for example:
