ongoing wireless issues

[fox]

So okay.  Wireless network in my parents' house.  I've worked out how to get it to quit bouncing me all the time, but I'm still having connectivity issues, and I think the trouble has to do with interference from other networks.  I've got my config set up to automatically connect to The Following Networks In This Order Of Preference, which includes my parents' network, and like the one at the curling club and my friends' place in Florida -- so those other ones are obviously not available here, so it should just connect to the one in the house and be done with it.  But there are these two other networks that keep popping up as available, which I don't mind as long as I can ignore them, but once in a while -- and usually in the evenings -- one or the other of them will force a connection with it and I have to go in and physically remove them from the 'automatically connect' list to reconnect to my own.

Does anyone know a way I can specifically block a network I don't have any interest in connecting to?  (I have obviously unticked the box for 'automatically connect to non-preferred networks'. It hasn't worked.)  Help!

Well, I'll have a car. But I'm leaving Wednesday evening, so can't really do anything that night.
