Thanks again. I'll keep you posted.

It's trivially easy for a hacker to sniff a valid mac and then pretend to have that mac and still get on your network, so it's really not providing you much security. Without any benefits, why use it when it's so much of a pita if you want to let anyone on to go and add their mac to your router settings? Use WEP or WPA(1 or 2). WPA is much more secure than WEP, but WEP is better than nothing.
