Is my wireless network secure?

Options
Hi,

I had a problem connecting to my wireless internet connection (on laptop) which is now working again but unlike before it works without the code being entered - does this mean anyone can access the connection?
I have turned on the XP firewall on the PC and laptop connections but am stil puzzled and worried.

Thanks
Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!

    Set it up again using WPA-PSK as it is not secure and your connection is free to use by anyone.

    It now prevents access if I remove the code so looks like the connection is secure again.
