Have you tried changing XP's Local Area Connection settings?

Start->Connect To->Local Area Connection.  Click Properties button, to
bring up Local Area Connection Properties dialog.  Select Wireless Tab.
Add your network to the List of Preferred Networks. Remove AP's you do
not wish to connect to from the list of Preferred Networks.  Click the
Advanced button, and uncheck the box that reads "Automatically connect
to non-preferred networks".

Subject: [BAWUG] Linksys USB adapter switching to rogue AP

We are a WISP.  We are having a problem with one of our customers who is
using a Linksys USB 802.11b adapter version 2.6 installed on XP.  There
is somone else in the viscinity who has set up an access point.
Unfortunately his machine keeps coming up with a message saying I see
another access point (the one that is not ours) and it keeps trying to
switch to this access point.

Our first thought was to find some way to use the configuration utility
that came with the Linksys adapter to "lock" it to our Aps channel.  But
I can't find any setting to do this.

Any other ideas how to keep the Linksys (or maybe its XP) from giving
its "helpful" messages about the other AP and just stay locked to ours?

Thanks in advance

Paul
