Simply why not just setup an Authentication mechanism to control access to your access point?

My apologies for not being explicit enough. Due to the nature of our business, we do not allow the use of wireless at all for our users, however most of our users have laptops with wireless cards. The users in question have been instructed not to access any access points (there are a couple around us), protected or otherwise, run by neighboring businesses, and I do not believe they'd intentionally access them but I'd like to be sure they cannot.

Care to explain a bit more, are the access points controlled by your company and you don't want your users accessing them, or do you want to block them for AP's near by? If its the first why not setup a security protection on the AP to block users WPA2, radius something to that extend.

Does the list know of a way/product to prevent users from accessing certain wireless access points? I figure AD has a group policy that can do this, but we don't currently use AD. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated... Thanks much, Dan
