I'm in the burbs. I can get on my neighbors wireless from my living room as good as if I was in thier house. When I boot up my wireless computers they always connect to someone elses first (yes, they run theirs wide open). I always have to disconnect from theirs and then connect to mine manually which is just an minor agravation but an agravation none the less. My SSID begins with a W and all the others begin with an alpha character before that. Is that why my PC's jump on theirs first? How do I tell my PC's to only connect to my SSID?![]()
BTW. I have PC's on W98, W2k, XP and Vista.

Set up a profile in your wireless card's utility program and set it as default.

There is a setting in the port properties, wireless locations that you can uncheck "auto connect to any open AP".
You can also add their AP into your location manager and set it to manual. Then change the order so yours is on top, and will execute first.
How to specify which wireless network to connect to?
