There are like 8 different wireless networks available from my house, but I want to lock into my own.

Is there a way to lock into just my network? The machine is running Windows XP SP2.
do you have a password?
ok, I actually installed a wireless network, and I actually know how to help you now. So, you still need help dude?
uh, i do.
whatchu need to know?
too many shitty networks are available. i was wondering if i can just lock in on mine.
do you have a password?
hmmm, if only i could remember what it was

Well, like, I have a wireless router, and the wireless card in my computer on the same channel, and it uses an encryption passkey to keep the connection secure. Now, I have like two neighbors who are also wireless, but run nonencrypted, so I could get onto them whenever. They were both on channel 6, so I'm on another channel.
sure
Okay, I have about 300 feet of cat5 in my apartment and have no reason to go wireless, so I don't know shit about it. But whenever I've been asked similar questions, I always suggest creating a workgroup/domain. No clue whether or not it would work with wireless, but it sounds good and makes sense to me..
Use a network key and change the channel that your network is on. 6 is the default on most routers.
sounds like your scuzzis need a washin
Last time I saw so many scuzzi infested people, I was at a Phish show.
whats kinds of phish did you see?
the way i fixed it was to remove all but my network from "preferred networks"
do you have a password?
Keysers way works...but you gotta make sure you don't let your comp log onto any of those other networks ever. Otherwise it'll sometimes automatically join up on those.
