Never mind. I'll just buy the Airport express and be done with it, and not ask any more questions on list, since it's obvious, that Jeff is pretty much the only one who really dilligently seems to have wanted to help me. Sorry for ruinning the day of your's that probably had no meaning in the first place even before I came along.

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.
