Excuse me. I have posted to forums, and yes my housing arrangement is! rellavant, because if it was not rellavent, I would a just plugged it directly to my router, and bam! Problem solved. I can't with how things are arranged, so yes, it most certainly is! rellavent.
Further, this is rellavent for the list, as isn't this list about the mac? Am I not trying to achieve this with a mac computer? There! OK then! Secondly, no one has had any idea in any of the forums I've posted to. I'd ask if you want me to put links to the forum discussions I created on to a virtual ciber fried poopoo platter for you to see, but what good would it do? Finally, you saying that I am being over hyper sensitive? Well, pardon me for asking a question. What the heck do you all want me to do? When I'm very brief with no, in your word, narrative, you all tell me I'm not specific enough. Then, when I try to elaborate, and be specific, you all cut off my balls for being too lengthy and for being a major attitude causer. So, make up your minds, with all due respect. Do you want me to give precise and con! cised info, or do you want the little snippits which don't seem to help you all. I obviously cannot win, so I may as well quit trying!

This list may not be the best forum to get a definitive response with regard to a specific network question like this. Instead of the condescending attitude, just go to the proper forum and narrow your question sufficiently. Work on the narrative skills and get down the the issue. You are obviously doing something wrong and not considering something with regard to the configuration. I've seen similar dilemmas but it's been a while and network bridging can be tricky, especially with something like an A/v receiver where one may not have ultimate control over how it decides to connect. I have more experience with these situations with Windows than with the Mac. And , of course, it may be that there is no solution. I admit I've read this with quite a lack of diligence and really have not focused on the specific issue because it seems quite like a comedy the way it's presented. I'm sure there are list subscribers who have the knowledge to solve the issue if it indeed can be solved. What I'm getting to is your housing/office situation is quite irrelevant. It takes us rewriting the issue in order to narrow it to the point that we can even start to consider the real problem. Many may not have the patience and can possibly not duplicate your scenario. Maybe seeking a more specialized forum will help. Not that it hurts posting here but without all the condescension. Not trying to be all that harsh here but you seem to be hypersensitive to the reactions you're getting. There's a reason why.

I need a way to get not just LAN access to the receiver, but it also needs to have specifically internet access, and with the way my office is designed architecturally speaking, there is no way I could gain internet access via ethernet without running cables along the ceiling, which isn't allowed. And please do not tell me then get another office. I'm sorry, but the poster who said that was totally out of line. Here's the thing. Your suggestion is great, but correct me if I am wrong. If I plug the ethernet cable from the Airport Express you suggested to the receiver, that would then connect the receiver via a LAN, and give it a private local area network IP. But then, I'd need a way to connect the WAN port of the Extreme to the internet, which would mean connecting an ethernet cord from the modem to the extreme, right? Well, if so, that isn't gonna happen. The modem is on the same desk as my router which has to be sitting across the room from the receiver. There's just no other way to do this, but to network bridge. Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
