Wireless piggybacks

Is there a way to know if someone is piggybacking on your wireless network? My network is basically secured and I have no reason to believe I'm being violated. I'm just curious.

    If you log into your wireless router's admin console, there should be a location at which you can view all of the PCs that are connected, either by computer name or MAC address. That should allow you to verify that only your own PCs are connected.

    Check the DHCP window in your router's control panel. It will tell you what computers it is handing leases out to.

    Ah... there it is. Yep, just my machines are listed as active leases. Would any machines that have accessed my router in the past but are not doing so now be listed?

    Probably not
