I must have 802.11b to have access in my room. My problem is that my Win2000 and WinXP computers spontaneously switch from my network to my neighbors. In doing so, I usually lose any connections I had had previously. Its infuriating! (Particularlly when I'm playing an online game like BF1942 and my connection is dropped.)

How can I keep my computers from switching over? It switches over several times an hour... and its really pissing me off.

And which wireless router uses "wireless" as the default SSID? If I can determine that, I'll drive around the corner, log into their router and disable SSID broadcast. edit: on channel 6
