First, thru a wired connection, log onto your Linksys. Change the SSID to a unique set of characters, such as "J1436" - something you can remember. Turn off the SSID broadcast, too. You might also change the boardcast Channel - I use Channel 6. Save and reboot the Linksys.
Second, while still attached as a wired connection, download "iStumbler" via macupdate.com, and install it on your main laptop. Go wireless. Third, fire up iStumbler. It will pick up all the wireless connections in the area. Select your network in the iStumbler window, and, from the AIRPORT menu, choose JOIN. That should do it. Finally, if your neighbor is broadcasting on the same Channel, select another Channel at least two from his channel in your router. You'll get this info from iStumble. Hope this helps.
