the digital nomad writes "If you've had enough of your neighbor stealing your Wi-Fi connection or letting his dog s#%t on your lawn, there is now a better solution than suffering in silence with your brooding anger: leave your neighbor 'a message!' Passive-Aggressive Wi-Fi Hotspots let your networks say what you cannot. And if you're looking for some great name for your Hotspot, make sure to read this post by Gizmodo."
Yea, it would thanks, but her wireless adapter (built in, nothing i can do about it) and it's driver set, apparently chose the first system it could conenct to, regardless of XPs settings. As i stated, no issues with other machines. i even had a Microsoft support case opened for it and they blamed it on the hardware.
