Securing wireless setup

[Jon L. Miller]

Like to know if there is a way to have a laptop that is using a
wireless router to only use / login to that router. The router is a
Cisco 857W and the laptop is a IBM Thinkpad. What happens is when the
user turns on his laptop he is connected to his neighbors router which
is unsecured (great is you are a cheat and what to d/l movies) but
this isn't the situation. While in the office there appears to be
other offices in the building that is using wrieless and he connects
to those as weel (we were testing to see if he can connect to his
router from the office).
The router is setup with dhcp and while it was at my office it worked
ok, since there are no WLAN in my area.

Go into the Wireless Connections properties, and select the Wireless
Connections tab. There you will see a box where you can put wireless
networks in preferred connection order.
