Yeah...the MAC thing can be overridden, not easy, but can be done.
And yes...once the WEP is broken, people can easily check out your data.

You have to remember that network security is not an absolute. You can not make any network 100% secure, there is always a way around the security. It is matter of how difficult it is, and if it is worth it for someone to break-in.
Sushi, you may have important research on your machines that you do not want someone else to see. I would encrypt the data on those machines. And depending on how far you want to go, I would use a hard wire connection as often as I could, and turn off my wireless access point when not in use. Just a matter on how extreme you want to get.
How many of you use passwords that are random characters and symbols rather than words or names?
