My daughter's computer is connected to my home network wirelessly (She has a Wireless NIC in her PC, I've got the Wireless Router down here). Lately, We've been disabling the Wireless connection to curb her internet use when she has other things to do (chores, homework, etc...).
Anyway, it looks like she's picking up someone else's wireless network and connecting to it while our own is disabled.
I've gone into WindowsXP wireless settings and deselected "connect when in range", and made our own network #1 priority.
But, the outside Wireless network still appears in her Wireless network list and she can connect manually.
How can I hide this connection from her computer? Is there maybe a firewall setting I can create? (She doesn't currently have a firewall on her computer, as there's one built into my router).
I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
(I guess I could always log into the neighbors router and deny her MAC address, right? I mean, if their wireless network name is "linksys" then I'm sure the default username/password for that router hasn't been changed.
(I'd rather leave this as a LAST resort..)
