Any way I can get my computer to ignore a wireless network?

My neighbours wireless internet keeps interfering with mine. every so often it'll disconnect and try to connect to theirs instead. Mines listed as the default but it does it anyway :confused:

Also my signal seems really weak since it started interfering and the internets a lot slower. I guess I could change the channel of the wireless but I did that before and theirs still seems to be picked up on this channel!

Cheers

add to exclude list?

mine picks up about 9 others. Auto-connect only to mine though.

You could setup the connection manually and then turn off the auto feature. Also if you're on XP then try NetStumbler to see what other wireless points there are and what channels they are using and change your channel to 1 that's not being used.

I'm using Vista, is there anything similar to NetStumbler for that? Seems quite handy..
