Rename your SSID.. your mention that "my neighbor has the same brand as me" is the clue here. Look in the manual for your base station, and find how to rename it and the SSID that it broadcasts to clients. More than likely, you both have the same SSID and your powerbook is trying to connect to it's usual one, it's just finding his by mistake.
Now select your new SSID as your preferred network in your Powerbook. (Unfortunately I'm on my desktop, not my PB so I can't look up how) That should solve the problem. You may also be able to tell it that your neighbors is not the preferred one.
