Here's another question (sorry to ask 2 in one day --seeing I just signed up for the forum today)

I have a wireless network that I use.. other wireless connections also show up as available also (I guess my neighbors didn't bother using WEP). I just use the default network thingy (for lack of a better word) that WinXP installed. Anyhow my computer feels the need to jump between 3 of these other networks every 5 minutes) and won't stay on mine. It's quite annoying. It's as if XP thinks I'm not smart enough to choose what wireless network I want to stay connected to. What's the fix?
