WRT54GS - Playstation 3

Question

So I made out on this foolish quest little knowing the horrors I would encounter:
At this moment in time I'm getting the error on my PS3 -> 8030182 (which is not available on Google)
Background: 
Linksys WRT54GS v.5.1 (firmware updated to v1.50.9 Sep 14 2006 as of tonight)
Switched everything off, turned modem on first, then router, then PC, then PS3
My router connects to a cable modem and my PC is wired directly to my router. The PS3 runs over wireless. 
The router remains DHCP off the modem, but it no longer gives out addresses internally
I've changed the IP address on the PC to static, set the gateway address to the router and the DNS address to the router
In the router settings I've disabled block anonymous internet requests
Set up 5 port forwards on the Playstation ports to the static IP I've assigned to the PS3
Wireless runs in mixed mode with SSID disabled
It's WPA2 Personal using TKIP+AES
With MAC filtering set to the MAC of the PS3
On the PS3 I've added a static IP close to my PC but used the DNS server settings in my router (that are set on the cable modem)
All the Wireless settings are correct.
I get IP config - connected
Internet connected
Open Internet Explorer and it's unable to connect
I get error 8030182??
Leaving the PS3 on I go back to the PC and the internet connection on it is running like a dog.
Turn off the PS3 and the PC springs back to life.
Has anyone come across this kind of issue or can provide any help?
Thanks
Kieran

As you have mentioned in the Post that you have enable Wireless MAC filter on your Router, You may try Disabling the Wireless MAC filter on your Router i think this might be one of the reason your PS3 is not getting connected to the Internet.Once you disable Wireless MAC filter on your Router then you can check if you are able to go Online on your PS3.
