How can I make my computer only recognize my network and not that of one of my neighbors?

How can I make my computer only recognize my network and not that of one of my neighbors? This is for when I am at home, and everytime the computer goes to sleep it essentially loses the connection, only to pick up my neighbors network when it is awaken.
I am on Comcast (Xfinity) Highspeed Cable wireless modem/router
Thanks in advance!
Mark

You can make your network the preferred network.

    How can I make my computer restart with all the same windows that were open when a shut it down?

    That is the way Mac OS X 10.8 (aka Mountain Lion) works by default. Are you actually running that system? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.) If so, make sure the check box in the shut down alert is checked:

    Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

  • When I facetime the ipad (email address) it calls my phone. The accounts are completely separate. How can I get this to only call the ipad and not my phone as well?

    It calls both the ipad and iphone when calling the associated email address for the ipad. However, when I call the iphone it does not call the IPAD.
    Thanks for your help

  • How can I get the computer to recognize my email and password? I have an exchange on my printer.

    hi Darryn
    Hope you are doing well and sorry to learn that you are having this issue.
    Taking into consideration the security of your data and your own, every time that email is reset is locked for 6 months.
    I see how that can an inconvinience in your situation but remember the purpose of that in my modest opinion is to protect data that is send to you and you to that email to print, A good example.
    You changed the email a week ago told your relatives and they forgot and they sent  information confidetial or private information met to you but I choose the email you had last week and I get a hold of this information.
    This is why I think HP make the decision of Automaticly locking the old email as soon is changed.
    What you can do to keep it as close as you can you from the one that you had previously is to add a number or another lettter to the old one and communicate the changes to your allowed senders.
    Hope this gives you a good explanation and an alternative;

  • I recently changed my password and firefox 5.0 is not remembering it. how can i get it to remeber the new password and not the old one?

    I had set firefox to remember my old password. at the point of changing to the new password, I was prompted whether to store the new password, which I did, however when I log in, it still remembers the number of characters in the old password.

    Did you check the password in the Password Manager ?

    how can i make magic bullet looks recognize my second graphic card in my mac book pro 2009

    That model MBP gives you a choice of cards to use – one at a time. it is not designed for them to run in tandem - splitting up the workload.

    I only see the phone numbers of my contacts when using iMessage on my MAC, whereas I see the names on my iPhone. Why, and how can I make it so I see the names (and pics) on my MAC?

    Thanks Eric, but that was already turned on. I just now tried turning it off and on again, no change. Actually, I"m more interested in seeing the names than the pictures. I now only see the phone numbers and generic avatars where pics would be.

  • How can I make a global change so all controls and indicators labels on the front panel change to another colour?

    How can I make a global change so all controls and indicators labels on the front panel change to another colour?
    I need to change the front panel so that it can be used in a dark environment.

    Hi
    The only way I see, is to use the "Controls[]" property and iterate through all of them. But don't forget about nested elements (i.e. clusters, tab-controls, ...).

    The subject of connecting ARD via the Internet has been covered here many times already (search the forum for "Internet"), but take a look at this web page:
    http://www.starklmc.com/ard.htm
    It should help, though you may have to refer to your router's documentation for specifics on opening and forward ports in that particular unit.
    To get a "static IP" use a service like dyndns.com

    How can you make your persona show on the top and bottom?
    Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?

    Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
    You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
    You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

  • How can I make an image appear partially in front and partially behind another layer in Adobe Illustrator?

    How can I make an image appear partially in front and partially behind another layer in Adobe Illustrator?

    Put the image behind the layer (at the back of it or on a layer below). With it still selected, Copy.
    Now Paste in Front (Ctrl+F). Depending on your Paste Remembers Layers setting, you may have to bring the newly pasted copy to the front, or to the upper layer.
    Draw a shape over the image to define the portion of it you want to appear "in front."
    With the shape and the image selected, clip the image using the shape. (Object > Clipping Mask > Make)
