I'm still a beginner in the wireless world myself, but I believe if you set the ESSID on your client to match that of your AP, it will only connect to that AP.  You should always change an AP's ESSID to something other than the default.

I don't use WinXP, so I don't know what functionality it offers, but RH and SuSE both offer some remedial config tools for wireless as part of the standard network configuration.  So YMMV depending upon your distro.  As far generic interfaces, there is iwconfig CLT.
