Jumping in here very late but I have had very mixed reliability with internet sharing in OSX. You may want to try: Turn off sharing in system prefs Leave the wy-fy adaptor configured for DHCP and DNS automatically assigned from your router (I assume the Mac has internet access OK) Set the (wired) Ethernet adaptor to a static IP within the range of your router’s IP addressed (198.x.x.x) and set the DNS to something like 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 Turn on sharing again and make sure wy-fy is shared to Ethernet.

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. Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
