How can I tell Windows XP to use my wireless network and not another one?
by bobby on December 27, 2009Q: I have a D-Llink router, which I reset with a new pass phrase by connecting to it via Ethernet. I did that because Windows XP kept favoring my neighbor’s open wireless connection over mine. I setup the pass phrase, seemed to continually choose my connection after that. Now all of a sudden, it chooses his every time.
I don’t use any software, I just choose the default “use windows to configure wireless networks.”
What the heck is going on? I’d rather use the connection I pay for than using an unsecured connection.

Scroll down to the section titled “Connect your computers and devices”, it will tell you how to select the wireless network you want to use.
