This is probably a dumb suggestion, but are you using MAC filtering under wireless or just MAC filtering in general?
I used to have a router that had MAC filtering [mind you it was a NON-wireless router], and it would filter anything going through it [which was only to my internet connection].
I now have a wireless router and it will not allow any access between my Wireless LAN and LAN/WAN if the MAC isn't on the "approved" list... in fact it won't even give out an IP address...
This is on a Netgear WGR614 w/ 128 WEP, MAC address filtering and broadcast SSID = off. I'd prefer to use WPA-PSK, however my PSP doesn't support WPA yet :(
