Hey everyone,
I have a wireless lan, and so does like 5 people in my condo nearby. Whenever I shut down or put my PowerBook to sleep and turn it back on it always connects to someone elses network. Sometimes even when I'm running my own at 100% signal it suddenly switches to a neighbours for like 20% signal and I have to keep switching back. Is there a way to tell it to never connect to certain networks like in XP? Sometimes it will show my wireless network as the only one and say its not one of my trusted networks and ask to connect, how do I make it trusted? I always click yet but it still says it. Other times it says the airport network is unavailable and then takes af ew tries to get it on. When I'm at school with my thinkpad, theres about 10 access points XP shows and I can connect to any one, with my powerbook it just shows one though? They all have the same ssid but is there a better way to view nearby networks and manage them than what os x has built in because its really lacking I find compared to managing wireless networks in XP.
