When you enable the security (WPA) on the WRT54G, it will by default generate it's own Pre-Shared Key (PSK), which is a long Hex string, shown on the wireless security screen.

The general idea is that you enable the security via a cabled PC, and copy the PSK via paper, cut&paste, USB key, etc to each of the clients.

In your situation, just login to the admin page via a cabled PC and copy the PSK. Input this into the wireless PC connection.

I wouldn't bother with the MAC filtering as it's very easy to overcome.
