I have "radio button" checked that allows "only the computers with the MAC address that I list to access the network." I can filter MAC addresses on my DLINKk 624.

I have the same configuration, too. As it turns out, I am both wrong and right. I did some further digging into my setup and here is what I found. If I change my Axim's MAC address to an incorrect one (or remove it completely) in the D-Link router MAC filter, I CANNOT access the PC's on our network. However, since Internet access is provided by a different router (a Linksys) that is attached to the D-Link router on the LAN side (not the WAN port), I CAN still get through our network to the Linksys router and have Internet access. So, the MAC filter is still somehow letting my packets pass through the wireless access and allowing them to be forwarded to the Linksys router with the WAN access.
In conclusion, I will just say it: I am more wrong than I am right.
My bad.
