Help Captivate and Linksys wifi problems

I'm home visiting my parents this week and they have a WRT54GS linksys router. They have an unsecured network with MAC filtering enabled. We added my phone's MAC address to the filter list and it connects to the WAP with no issue. However, I cannot reach the internet.

I can reach the 192.168.1.1 router config site on the phone, but that is all. Google fails to load, market fails to load. No internet access at all unless I disable wifi and go back to mobile data.

I've never had an issue with wifi on this phone before. I disabled security on the router, restarted it and nothing has changed. My laptop connected with no issues. Suggestions?
 
I fixed this, by setting a static IP on my phone and using Google's DNS servers.
Still don't know why it was happening though.
