ME on XP Wireless: difficulty finding channel

I have a 3 system wireless network via Linksys wireless router. XP desktop wired
to router, xp notebook via built-in wireless and wife's ME desktop connected through
Linksys USB 2.5.
The xp machines run fine for the most part, but the ME machine has trouble finding
the correct channel (channel 1 on router). It keeps connecting to channel 6, though
it isn't able to access the internet on that channel (may be neighbor's network?).
If I juggle the wireless usb device around, I can usually get it to connect eventually,
but if there is any sort of load on my other machines (downloading large files,
for example) the ME machine loses it's signal. My laptop and wife's desktop are in
the same room, in close proximity.
Is there any way to "hardwire" the wireless connection to channel 1? Usually when
I do a site survey, it cannot find the channel 1 connection and it's frustrating
because the utility won't let me set the channel directly.
Any help gratefully accepted.
