Default Wireless Internet Keeps Jumping Between Networks

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?

Go into the advanced wireless stuff, browse around.
You can set the wireless network order list in which you want to connect to
