So anyone can access my internet connection?

I recently set up my first wireless network. I'm a bit confused as to what security I have. I enabled 256 WEP encryption, but this only encrypts data being sent correct? So if this is the only security measure that I have set up could anyone use my connection? I changed my SSID, but with sniffers couldn't someone just find that out and use my connection?

What is the best way to stop others from using my internet connection?
 
1. Enable WEP
2. Disable SSID broadcast
3. Enable MAC address filtering

Not perfect, but will stop all but the most determined hackers.
 
.. And if you see four punks with laptops sitting on your sidewalk, something is wrong.
