it will join what ever you have selected in the Network preference pane, under Airport tab. The best way to ensure you don't get back on a network is to "join a specific network" then select the one you'd rather go on; or, if you're not using airport at all any more, just disable the airport interface in "Network Port Configurations" option of the "Show" drop down menu.

HTH,

If it's password-protected, you could try deleting the item from your keychain.

well that works sort of, the problem is i have 2 networks, 1 on each side of the house (we have one of those wide and short houses) i think the reason it joins that network is because it has better network range, but the internet is slower than dial-up.
