How to prevent from automatically connecting to "default" wireless network and only with specified ones?
I'm running Vista Home edition on my laptop and when I use my laptop
at home, it keeps on connecting to an unsecured default wireless network, instead of connecting to my home network, which is named and is secured. I guess one of my neighbours decided to just run their wireless network like that. How can I prevent my laptop from connecting to other networks other than the ones I specify? I've looked in the settings and options in the wireless connection management utility in Vista and couldn't find a way to do that. Perhaps i didn't look hard enough, but would appreciate it if someone could provide a solution to this issue. Thank you very much for your time and courtesy.

tabUncheck Connect when this network is in range. "AI" wrote in message ...

check out your settings in 'network & sharing centre' manage wireless
networks find your network (possible delete all except yours?), check the wireless properties. I have mine set to 'connect automatically when in range' you could try unchecking the option about connecting to preferred network if available "AI" wrote in message ...
