Re: Multiple & simultaneous SSIDs: "ghosts" in the machine?

network and sharing center
manage wireless networks on left
highlight/click what you want to remove and click remove along the

Vista remembers what you have previously connected to for
convenience. The ghosts don't show a signal strength.

this is good for travelers who utilize one or more of the big
national wifi providers, but not as good for someone doing what you
are doing.
