I'm sick of my macbook connecting to my neighbour's BTFON network

I'm sick of my macbook connecting to my neighbour's BTFON network EVERY TIME I START MY MAC even though I have my own network set up and "remembered".
Can i tell my mac to ignore their INFURIATING network?

BTFon is a rather curious wi-fi sharing arrangement whereby the BT customer is given a FON router and shares his/her connection with all and sundry nearby.
The incentive being that, when on the road the BTFON customer is afforded the same access to other users' BTFON hotspot.
Can't help with the original question I'm afraid - just thought you aught to know what is at least!

  • Intel MacBook Connecting to Linksys Router

    Hey Discussions,
    I'm getting ready to purchase a MacBook. Currently, my setup is a G4 Mac mini that is wirelessly connected to a Belkin repeater (which is repeating the signal of a Linksys router). I've heard rumblings that Linksys routers are being funny with the new Intel processors. Now, since I do have that repeater and since the repeater creates a new wireless network in addition to the weaker Linksys one in my present location, would I have any problems getting the MacBook to connect to either of the wireless networks? This sounds like a problem that will have to be solved by experience.
    Thanks!
    -Mateo

    Hmmm...I hope it will be simple. But I don't know if the fact that I have that repeater creating an entirely new network will be to my advantage or disadvantage. I guess we'll find that out on Friday!

  • How to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?

    how to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?  My home computer is a Window 8 OS.  Thx.

    The easiest way, and it may work from scratch, is to share the folders/drives you want access to on your pc, noticing what are the default parameters (eg "workgroup" etc.).
    Then, you can connect your mac directly by ethernet, for instance, and, in Finder, go to > Network, you should see the folders/drives. You may be asked to provide user/password.
    Don't get confused by regular/crossed ethernet cable, as mac can cross by software, so a regular cable will be ok.
    Anyway, either you isd modem has the ability to connect several devices (multiple ethernet sockets, or wifi), or you can buy a router, which isn't expansive.

    To give a network the highest priority, drag the name of the network to the top of the list. This is the network your computer will attempt to join first.

    Hello NotAppleSavy,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • Macbook Connection to Sharp Projector

    Can anyone recommend which cables I need to connect a Macbook to a Sharp PG-M15X Projector please?
    I've tried all sorts of mini DVI, DVI and VGA combinations and it still says 'No Signal'. I've looked on countless forums and they all seem to contradict each other!

    I'm having the same problem.
    Have tried with a MacBook and MacBook Pro, one running Snow Leopard and the other running Tiger.
    MacBook connections: Mini DVI to DVI adapter to DVI cable with VGA adapter to Vivitek projector.
    MBP connections: DVI cable with VGA adapter to projector
    Both computers recognize projector in displays preferences. Still no signal.
    Have tried various displays settings.
    Have downloaded DVI to VGA firmware update from Apple-no good for me probably because my adapter is Mini DVI to DVI-stupid system-thanks Apple!
    Have tried third party download "SwitchResX" that allows preferences to be customized in the "displays" preferences panel. No signal, no luck.
    Have spoken with Apple Care-clueless-not willing to take any responsibility for this problem even after I tell them of the thousands of posts on this site relating to this problem.
    Have spoken with Vivitek-even more clueless
    Should I purchase the $19 Mini DVI to VGA adapter? Stupid system-thanks Apple!
    Should I return my projector, both of my Macs, and buy a PC?
    I just want the projector to work. Isn't anything plug and go?

  • Can't connect MacBook (Core 2 Duo) to AExpress "N" network

    Hi folks,
    I have a MacBook which connects happily to my home Airport Express wireless-G network. However, my parents have an Airport Express which is a year or two newer, and theirs is wireless-N. I have searched the discussion pages here for guidance on why I can't connect to their network. My MacBook sees the N network, I have the password, but it just won't connect. At first I thought my MacBook was not compatible with N, but these discussion pages seem to say that mine should have the capability. I found something about downloading a $2 "wireless N updater enabler" software from Apple, which I did, but it wouldn't install, perhaps because my OS is already up to date? (I think the enabler update was more for OS 10.4 users?)
    I have confirmed that I have Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which is a prerequisite. I confirmed that I have a wireless b/g/n ready airport card on board (I think it was the Network Utility software which showed me that).
    But I can't figure out what else I need to do in order to connect to the N network.
    Grateful for any help. Thanks.

    I had this problem with my MacBook connecting to my Linksys N Router. They had me change the wireless security from WPA to WPA 2 and now it connects as 802.11n. Speed still seems a bit slow as it only connects at 72 Mbit/s but it is better than the 54 Mbit/s it was connecting at before the change...

  • I have a unknown person's macbook connected to my network. How do I remove it?

    I have an unknown person's macbook connected to my computer as a "shared" directory.  How can I remove it?  i'm signed in as my computer's administrator, but it says I don't have sufficient permissions to remove it...

    Good suggestion, with an addendum.
    If your Router supports WPA, please use that instead of WEP. WEP is known to be insecure, it can be cracked by an experienced person in just a few minutes using network analysis tools.
    Go WPA instead

  • TS1398 My MacBook connects happily to a wifi system but my iPad doesn't altho it identifies the network. Help please

    Cannot connect to an existing (and workin) wifi system. My MacBook connects no problem!

    You have the latest iOS 5.1.1 on your iPad?
    Reset your modem/router (turn off power for some minutes)
    On your iPad go to Settings, General > Reset > Reset all settings.
    Then Keep pressed the Powerbutton and the Homebutton at the same time until you see the Apple logo in your screen.
    Then turn power on on modem/router.
    Sometimes it can be the security on your router, be sure it is WPA2-AES.
