Everytime I remove the preferred wireless network in my Vista laptop, after few seconds its filled up with few of junks [linksys, I dont know whose network is that?]

Is there anyway where I can remove the preferred wireless network completely?

I am wonderd and how my laptop is connected to the unsecure wireless network without my knowlege? Do you people have any clue?

Help me with that..!

Hi Raj!

If you can get to the properties of the wireless internet connection there is a check box that states "automatically connect to non secure networks". I think if you uncheck that then it should not connect to anything unless you specify.

The "few of junks" I think is normal. Your laptop will purposely look for any wireless access points that can be contacted and list them for you. I think this is by design. Hope this helps! Let me know!

In Vista you can, via the command line, filter the list of available wireless networks. To filter out ad-hoc networks run the following from a command line (running as admin, all on one line)

netsh wlan add filter permission=denyall networktype=adhoc

to reverse this again run the following:

netsh wlan del filter permission=denyall networktype=adhoc
