windows switches from 1 wireless network to another randomly
Please help! I have a Linksys USB 802.11b on an XP
system at home (connecting to an unsecured home wireless network). My neighbor also has an unsecured/open wireless network and windows is continuously switching between his network and mine. I have tried identifying both and prioritizing mine (within windows) but does not seem to solve the problem. I've tried labeling his as an adhoc network and to not recognize adhoc with no luck. I've also tried to switch channels on my ap with no luck... Any suggestions to keep my wireless on my network and not switching between the two? The continous switching confuses downloads and is just downright annoying... Thanks...

Why are you connecting to an unsecured wireless network?
That would be the first and easiest way to keep your computer connected to your network. Nick nkjg/at\interchange/dot\ubc/dot\ca -----Original Message----- Please help!

Click Advanced. 4. Remove the neighbor's network from the list of preferred networks. 5. Click Advanced. 6. Un-check "Automatically connect to non-preferred networks". -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
