Accessing wireless internet

G'day, I have wireless internet (The type that plugs into the USB port ). It's obviously password protected but in the settings menu I have it set to remember my password and I connect to the internet by clicking on "CONNECT" without having to enter my password.

Lately I've been getting an occasional popup warning saying something about " another computer connected, I.P. conflict..'
Sorry, don't remember the exact wording. Anyhow, my question is, if I'm connected to the internet, is it possible for someone else within wireless range of my computer to access the internet via my computer/internet while I'm online? I know that I'm the only one who can log on (unless someone has my password) but once I connect to the internet, can someone else log in on my account?

Thanks in advance
