On my wireless network I have set my security too 128bit WEP key. I was just wondering do you think this is safe enough? And also if not what would you advise me too do?

I'd also include MAC address filtering, only allow access from the computers you want, and you could also hide the SSID. I have had problems with some wireless routers when I've hidden the SSID, so I'd check to see if that is a problem with your setup first.
Mac filtering is fairly easy to set up. and mean's only machines with that piece of wireless hardware can connect. any other machines you have not authorised will not be able to connect to your network, even if they have your wep key.

Use WPA (http://www.openxtra.co.uk/articles/wpa-vs-wep.php) instead of WEP.
