How do you cancel an automatic connection to a once joined wi-fi network on 10.7.4?
I wish to no longer log on automatically to a wi-fi network that I once logged on to access the internet.
I have tried everything in the advanced tab of the Network preference panel to no avail: the computer never "forget" the WEP password no matter what I do.
Any further reaching solutions I would not be aware of?
THanks.

- Go to System Preferences > Network.
- Select your Airport/WiFi connection on the left.
- Click on the "Advanced..." button in the lower right of panel.
- You should see a list of "Preferred Networks." Select the one you want to "forget" and click the minus "–" button below.
- You can also un-check "Remember networks this computer has joined" – that will cause the computer to – you guessed it – NOT remember networks it has joined! :-)
Check if the wi-fi password is saved in the Keychain (Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access.app), if you haven't changed any Keychain settings, it should be in the "login" keychain, look for an entry with Name
the same as the wi-fi network name and Type
Airport network password. If there is such entry, delete that entry (click on the entry corresponding to the wi-fi network, then Edit -> Delete, or right-click -> Delete). Make sure that you don't delete the whole login
keychain.
