In the interest of helping, here's what people are getting at.
"Hi. I'm trying to make my mac bridge from wifi to Ethernet, so I can
connect an Ethernet device to it and give that device internet access. I
go into blah on the mac and enter ... I've also tried the command line
and ... Can anybody help"?
Yes, the device might be relevant, but guess what? Your housing
situation and so on and so on and so on isn't, because you want to
bridge your wifi to your Ethernet port so something connected to that
port can access the internet. That's it. That's your question. It's
specific. It's short. You simply don't need the twelve side digressions
and the "and trust me when I tell you that I've sprinkled it with potato
chips and waved a dead chicken over it thirty times while praying to
great Cthulhu as prescribed in the seventeenth chapter of the
Glockenspiel Network Administrator's Guide, but the third edition which
is correct not the newer fourth edition which quite frankly in my
opinion is not worth the paper on which it was printed, and there is no
way I can use a cable because did I mention that my landlord has rules
and these rules are, and also if I had a different computer in a
parallel universe this would be easy but since we're in this particular
state of quantum collapse and not the one in which my former computer is
still functional or the one where I have a totally different but also
functional computer that could accomplish this task for me, or ..."
In short, nobody cares why you want to bridge, or hwy it's an absolute
necessity that you do so and do no other thing. You have to bridge, it
ain't working. Done.

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!
Chris.

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.

Jeff, that would work, but the issue is, then, the receiver only
would have LAN access. 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.
