I am trying to set up mac address filtering and no matter what I do all wireless PCs are prevented from accessing the internet. I check off "permit only PCs listed" and then I hit Edit mac filter list, enter the macs and I should be done, right? Nope. Those wireless PCs listed can't bring anything up. I go under Wireless client MAC list and I see the mac addfresses listed in the _inactive_ area. I check them off and hit "update filter list" Still nothing. What do I have to to get the mac addy filtering to work?

Don't bother with MAC address filtering -- it does no real good (too easily defeated), and can cause problems. Just rely on WPA with a strong passphrase, the only wireless security that really works.
