How do I turn prevent a wiimote from connecting?

[Light_of_Aether]

Whenever I play Super Smash Bros Brawl, the game senses that a wiimote is connected when there shouldn't be. After about five minutes of playing, a box comes up asking if I want to reconnect the wiimote. I live in a college dorm, so I suspect that one of my dormmates' wiimotes on either the floor above or below or down the hall is connected to my computer. In the Dolphin wiimote settings, I have all four wiimotes set to "Inactive". Can someone help with this, please?

"I suspect that one of my dormmates' wiimotes on either the floor above or below or down the hall is connected to my computer."
Unlikely, Only an emulated wiimote is connected.

to disconnect it: Tools->Disconnect Wiimote 1

It sounds like you are using an older version of Dolphin if wiimotes are still connected when choosing "Inactive".
You could try a recent svn build from http://www.dolphin-emu.org/download.html
