Read the manual, it's in there.
You have to set it to connect to selected devices only.

Like I said, read the manual, or get it if you don't have it, try Google.
There are a zillion models out there, each with their own settings, so we cannot 'guess' you setup, let alone give you directions.
All we know is that you have 'some' model of D-Link router.
You do not give details about it, no info on the LAN-WiFi card, etc.
Please understand we cannot see what is on your table. If you don't provide every detail, we can't help.

If using the native connection services of XP, right click the notification tray icon, "Open Network Connections", right-click "Open Wireless Connections".
You create a new entry in the bottom box for a "Preferred" connection. You in addition use the "Advanced" buttom to specify that you only connect to uncheck "Automaticly connect to non-preferred networks."

Sorry, I am suffering from the results of a flue shot. More cogently:

Alot of WiFi cards need to have the Windows Zero-Config turned off , or they refuse to work properly.

marcs41,
I know this. Toss them out and get compliant ones. At some point we all have to agree who is going to manage the settings. My own personal guess is to let XP do the job.

I agree with you, If possible (card compliance), I let Xp handle the driver and settings, that gives less complications.
Thos who insist on their own device settigns usually blame Microsoft for the problem, while it is them who do bot comply.
