Can wireless access be controlled?

We live in a neighborhood where there are multiple wireless access points
available (SSID's are broadcasted and there are no access restrictions) ...

I want to force my daughter's PC to ONLY access OUR wireless network (and
it's access restrictions) Is this possible? I imagine there should be a
registry tweak which I'm comfortable with as long as I have proper
instruction. The machine is XP Pro SP2.

Thanks in advance
 
You might want to look within the hardware
(Wireless NIC's) control applet for this functionality.

My SHARP laptop's wireless app. has the ability to
define profiles and connect ONLY to the one selected.

Built-in Wireless Zero Config. is a promiscuous SOB
and will "helpfully" try to connect to everything and
anything. Try to disable it and use the wireless NIC's
applet only.
