Router log question

I have tried searching back in this group from Dec 2003 for the answer to my
question (based on a subject search) with no success.

My question to you is this;

Does a (wireless) connection in my NAT routers log (SMC2404WBR) indicate a
successful connection to my LAN or just a connection to the router on the
outside of the limited security it offers? My router is set up to use a WEP
key. Unfortunately I use a smaller key size to allow access to the internet
by my PDA. I might have to re-evaluate the level of security I am applying
and forgo allowing the PDA access. I do secure each individual PC using a
software firewall and file shares on sensitive machines using MAC addresses
(I realize this is not foolproof but it does add a little more security).

I think you in advance for your time.
