NetworkManager has a way of "forgetting" a wireless network you have
connected to before.  According to my brief research, try looking in:

  /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

and look for a file that matches the network you don't want to connect
to.  Either delete or move it from that directory.  You can also click a
bunch of clicks to do the same thing, but I don't remember all the
clicks or know how to describe them adequately.

Let us know if that works.
