Hi all
My girlfriend's PC has a wireless router and we have a wireless LAN
and its all cool.
However the neighbour(very nice guy) has a wireless setup also -
however the idiot who set it up for him
left it wide open and my woman's pc connects to it inadvertently quite
often.
How can i configure my woman's PC (runs XP home) to only connect to
our network and not his as he is a nice bloke on a low download
limit ?

cheers
Buzz

Within "Available Wireless Networks" if you "Disconnect" from your Neighbour's
Router it will switch from "Automatic" to "Manual"... Otherwise go into
"Order of preferred networks" and manaully deselect "Connect when within
range" on the "Connection" Tab!!!

Or you could just help your poor neighbour secure his net.
