I've been using wireless network at home for quite a while now, and
have it WEP (password) enabled, however, I have an un-settled feeling
that someone that is more savvy than me can still connect to my
network. Is there a tool that can monitor my network and record (text
file) network connection activity?

For example, I can drive around my neigborhood with my laptop on and
monitoring wireless networks, and see several that I can easily
connect(not protected), totally open. I was able to surf the net using
their "on-line" broadband internet connection.

You need to be at WPA-PSK to be vaguely safe.

And turn off the broadcast of your SSID.

And turn on MAC address filtering.

If you go ogle for "wireless access points security hints" you will have
many hours of pleasant reading.
