Again, I totally feel your pain on this, bec I just went through it with Vista a few weeks ago. I completely gave up after deleting and re-adding the wireless connection multiple times.

fake" network with the same SSID and password I'd be glad of it not connecting

I think you are right about that. The one situation I was thinking of and wondering about is if it would be possible that the fake network be named the same as yours but require not password for login. Would it then authenticate you? I don't know. I'm curious though.

It's a terrible thing to be trapped helping someone with their computer and then they think the problem is you. Big Grin | :-D
