Sounds like you've set it up to *deny* the specified addresses and allow
everything else, rather than vice versa. My 3Com router config allows
either - perhaps yours does, and you've gone for the wrong option?
I have a Linksys WRT54G, and it definitely can either deny specified
addresses or accept only specified addresses. Worse, I think the
default is deny, not accept.
However, to the original poster: I wouldn't expect this to provide much
additional security. Anyone monitoring your wireless traffic can get
the MAC addresses of any computers you are currently using, and setting
their wireless card use the same MAC address as yours is usually easy.
