Hey i recently got a wireless network working in the house, but theres another, unsecured, network close by and when i boot my computers it will automatically connect to this other network, its more of an annoyance than a problem, but is there anyway to stop the computer automaticall connecting to a network? Cheers JB

If you're using Windows' native support for wireless (zeroG), then you will find an option "Automatically connect to non-preferred networks" by clicking the Advanced button in the Wireless Networks tab of the zeroG dialog box. Unselect this box and make sure your access point is the only "preferred network".

If you're using the NIC's own software, look for something similar.

Cheers,
