    HI,

    You should turn off SSID broadcast. He is picking up his neighbour's
    network because the neighbour is broadcasting his SSID's.

    You should be able to go into the wireless properties and specify his
    SSID as the default network. You should also setup WEP on his wireless
    router and PCI card as well, this way anyone with a wireless card will
    not be able to access his router. Since he is a director, he propably
    has important info that is vulnerable until the access point is locked
    down. Hope this helps...

    Hi,
            I have a user who uses a wireless network at home. He just asked
    me (it's a director) to find a way to avoid his laptop (Toshiba tecra
    running XP Pro) connecting on the neighbor's router instead of his. He
    has a D-Link
    614+, I don't know this model at all so I'm asking you guys if you know
    614+a
    way to restrict his laptop to only HIS router.

    As you can see, I'm not very familiar with Wireless :/

    Thanks for any inputs
