I would also work with/convince him to use WEP on his WAP.  ;)  I'm not
sure, but that *may* work.  Its possible that if you are both using
encryption then only your WAP will accept your connections and
vice-versa.  Not sure if you'll have connection problems due to
interference though...  If your neighbor is using Windoze then its
probably easier to configure him on a different channel than to change
yours (obviously!)

Regardless, its always a good idea to use the encryption feature anyway,
if your neighbor does not agree, then maybe you can save a few bucks a
month on broadband access...  just kidding of course!

Just a thought!
