Wireless Security

I'm running WinXP and using a Dell Truemobile wireless router. I have WEP enabled and have hidden my network and a host of other security precautions. My question is, how can I tell if someone else (other than approved computers) are on my network...? My reason for asking is that I have noticed that the wireless 'light' on the router will light up like a Christmas tree when I know that no one who has authorization is on the network. Is this light really indicative of anything sinister...?
