   I want my wired pcs connected/accessible to each other, but ofcourse I do     
   not want the network to be exposed to wireless devices.  Hence the WTF     
   when I just happened to connect a recent new laptop (the Thinkpad 540p     
   that I mentioned in another echo a couple months ago) to finish some Win7     
   updates.   
      
   I thought the sr360 modem/router *was* isolating clients as the config     
   shows.   
      
   The sr360n was a "brand new" replacement from my ISP.  Very early on I     
   discovered that the port-forwarding feature on it was broken.  At that     
   time I was not yet using the wi-fi (it interferes with the cordless     
   phone), so I was not aware that anything else might be broken on the     
   sr360n.  I'd only turn on the wi-fi if a friend was desparate to check     
   something from their tablet/ipad/phone for a few minutes.   
      
   Based on what you see on the config, would you not be convinced that the      
   wireless devices would be blind to each other and the wired network?
