Block specific SSID
in [Wireless]
|
From: Dan on 20 Apr 2008 19:25 A neighbouring business has a wireless network which our computers repeatedly attempt to connect to even though it is not in the preferred list. We do want users to connect to non preferred networks but to specifically block this one SSID. Is there anyway to achieve this?

Is there anyway to achieve this? Would this network be "unprotected?"
From: Jack (MVP-Networking). on 21 Apr 2008 18:07 Hi Some of the original utilities that are provided by the Wireless Card's manufacturers can do it. Try, and do not forget to switch Off Windows Wireless Utility when you use the other. http://www.ezlan.net/wzc.html Jack (MVP-Networking).

I was hoping for a more network wide configuration which does not rely on specific hardware.
