Wireless network conflicts

Question

I have a wireless network set up in my apartment. So does my neighbor. My wireless connection will cut out, and it will say that One or more wireless networks are available. Is there a way I can force my laptop (XP) to only connect to my network? I really don't want to mess with channels, because I have two OSX computers on the wireless and dont want to mess with their configuration,...

Any help would be appreciated

I'd be very surprised if the two OS X wireless clients didn't track the channel change made to the wireless router the same as the XP client should. And if you and your neighbor's wireless routers are both on the same channel, you'll continue to have problems. The most widely separated wireless channels are 1, 6, and 11.
