Hitchiker

I had a similar problem when I first used Hitchiker at home with my own personal wireless network. Here's what I did:

1. Run Hitchiker on your PPC
2. Tap/Highlight your network when it shows up in the window and Set Importance to 'High'
3. Tap/Highlight your network a second time and Set WPA Pre-Shared Key (if you are indeed using encryption)

I went an extra step to tell Hitchiker to 'Ignore' my neighbor's network and Set Importance to 'Low'. Depending on where I am within the house, my network signal may be weak, so this extra step sometimes help.

Hope this helps.

Anyone know how to use this program effectivley?
