I'm still looking for the setting that will make it calm down, and have decided to keep WiFi off unless I really want to be connected to a specific LAN and can "dismiss" every other LAN in the area.
No, I don't want to snoop on my neighbors!

i have two questions: what does that software do exactly? This is my first pocket Pc and i'm overloaded with information. I only know the basics.
Secondly, I didn't sign up for the internet plan with my MDA because I don't really need it. When i'm in school, I use the wifi to connect to their network and when i'm home, I connect to my own, here's where it gets tricky, when i'm in an area where someone has internet service or something, it asks me if I want to connect to them. What does that mean exactly? Does it mean i'm connecting to their internet or does it mean that i'm just connecting to their computer? I understand the wifi when it comes to my own computer and such, but I don't understand how I can connect to someone elses, it asks me do i want to connect to someones unsecured internet and if I click yes, nothing happens, do I have to be in a certain range of the service? I try to connect to my offices and nothing happens. Can someone give me more information about this?
Thanks guys
