MAC address filtering issues with xbox 360

I have MAC address filtering setup on all the pc's in my home network but when it comes to the xbox 360 with wifi I cannot get this to work, any help would be appreciated.

I have attempted to use both the MAC address of the xbox NIC and the mac address of the wifi adaptor, still no joy.
If I turn off mac address filtering will this screw up all my other devices?

I do not understand why Mac address filtering is not secure whilst I am also using WPA2?

So the mac address filtering is not helping me out with anything except that I have static IP's for all my devices and therefore Utorrent works a lot better. Is there anyway to setup static IP's without mac address filtering?

This is the situation in my house network wise,
my main reason for setting up my network in this way is that I am renting out the basement of my house and the rent includes internet. The tenants have 2 pcs and 1 xbox 360, they need to have internet access but not really network access. Is there a better way of setting this up?

And if I do this then I do not need mac address filtering as well?

I think then that I only have DHCP setup with static IP's to each mac address.
