Click the bubble to open the properties for your wireless connection, or
open the Network Connections control panel, and open the wireless connection
properties from there. In the Wireless Networks page, make sure that your
access point is listed in the Preferred Networks, and remove any others
listed there. Click the Advanced button and make sure the "automatically
connect to non-preferred networks" box is *not* checked.

Hopefully it will turn out to be one of those settings...
