Securing a wireless network?

I want to set up a wireless network, I have all the hardware but am having difficulty securing it. I’ve changed my SSID already but how do I make the network invisible to others who may try to log on and also how do I set it up so that anyone who wishes to log on must use a username and password in order to get access onto the network? My neighbors have been able to get free internet access thru my network and I want to put a stop to that. I’m running XP and also have a Westell Versalink wireless router/modem if that helps any…
Please keep your answers as simple as possible, I’m not as bright as you’d might imagine.
