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?
