Continuously swapping between wireless networks
Is there a way to tell Windows it should only connect to preferred networks,
like you can in XP? Although I have an excelent connection to my own (secured) wireless access point, Windows keeps swapping to other non secured networks. I notice this because I have Windows Live OneCare as security software and it's telling me every 15 seconds that it has changed my protection level. It changes to restricted when connecting to an unsecured network and back to automatic when reconecting to my own network. This is very annoying.

Continuously swapping between wireless networks
in the network and sharing center, manage wireless networks, what is
listed? have you left the default SSID name in place and not changed it? you should specify a unique name and remove all the unwanted network names (right click, remove) On Wed, 9 May 2007 10:25:01 -0700, Maarten wrote: Is there a way to tell Windows it should only connect to preferred networks, like you can in XP?
