Where is that dirty Leech?

I've read past questions about it but the airport management tools I downloaded don't seem to tell me much, in fact airport management utility won't even open. How can I check if anyone is on my wireless network - I'm using a linksys modem/router. I've got a WEP set up.
For my peace of mind please help.

I wonder about this attitude that labels anonymous users as "leeches". What is so wrong about sharing a high speed wireless network?
I have to disagree with you. Anonymous users are leeches.
Your post seems to suggest that since nobody is getting hurt then it is okay to act unethically. But you don't seem to be considering the fact that legitimate users are getting hurt by you and the people who are sharing your connection.
Basically, as the number of people using the network increases, the ISP needs to upgrade its infrastructure to handle the increased demand. When the increased demand comes from legitimate users the extra cost is taken care of in the form of access fees paid by the new users. But when the increased demand comes from users who do not pay for the service, the extra cost is passed on to everyone else in the form of higher fees.
By sharing your connection you are raising the cost for everyone. Sure, it may only cost other users pennies a year (if that). But if enough people do what you and the leeches do then those pennies can really start to add up.
