More than one local area network?

Hi,

Whenever I start my computer the wireless adapter finds more than one local area network. Then it uses either an existing one of them or creates another one with another name, say Local Area Network 5.

Now there are a lot of entries created in registry named local area network 1, local area network 2...etc. How could I delete them?

I think there is no wireless connection in my neighborhood so all that entries should have been created by my wireless adapter. I don't understand why. How can I fix this problem and make my adapter to find the same one only when starting the wireless pc?

Thanks.

Your neighbor could have a wireless router as well. Hopefully he/she has security set up on it. Thats why you are getting different connections. There should be an option to connect to a default connection somewhere in the software.

My default connection is already selected. The MAC filter is enabled as well. Could it be my wireless signal strength (35-40%) causing this symptom?
