Ok so i have the problem: ive mistakenly made a new wireless network connection with same adress, ip and password as the other but with a differnt name (something with native). This network connection want to be connetted all the time so when i want to connect to the other this netwok just keep wanting to connect and the problem is that it has no internet. I CANT DELETE IT OR DEPRIORITIZE (it get up prioritezed when i deprioritize) PLEASE HELP!

Maybe you can help me or refer me to one of your other videos: I did what you're doing in this video by accident (meant only to disconnect), and now I don't know what I have to do to get any of the disabled ("nuked") connections to reappear. I'm using windows XP pro, service pack 2. Thanks.

@CinemaDemocratica You'll need to return to the places you can detect those networks and reconnect to them as they are detected. You'll have to re-enter passwords required to connect (unless those networks don't require that). You could manually add connection profiles for each one, but you'd really have to get the settings perfect for that to work. I doubt you can recover what you had, unless you have a sufficiently recent backed up copy of your registry. (maybe from installing a service pack?)

@DocDawning Shouldn't the network be "re-detected"? I am sitting in a known, password-free hotspot, and clicking "find available wireless networks," and not getting the one I should get.

[DocDawning]

@CinemaDemocratica Weird. Maybe it's not broadcasting any more. You can try restarting, though I'm skeptical that'll help - still if it doesn't you lose a couple minutes, if it does, then problem solved. Anyway, for what it's worth, I rarely use Windows... Not that what I use is really all that different.

hey men can you tell me how to remove someone that connect to your wireless?

because i want to kick them!!!!!!!

[jamessnell]

@kemzey16 You need to beef up your security settings on your Wireless Access Point (probably part of the thing you call your router). I'd suggest you set up WPA on it. WPA requires users of your wireless service to provide a password to use it. Another approach is you could employ MAC Address filtering and either only allow addresses for those network devices you provide to connect (whitelist) or disallow those you specify (blacklist).

Look at the manual for your router/wireless access point.
