I'm gonna try a suggestion given by a list member on another list I also
posted to, as he/she might be on to something. If that doesn't work though,
then my next, and final resort will definitely be to get an Airport Express.
I just hope it'll play nice with my Linksys router. If it won't, then it'll
probably take me two months to afford an Extreme as well as an Express.
I might also look into some hardware network bridges. I knew all along that
would work, but I was really trying to save the trouble of having to go that
avenue. It's beginning more and more to look like I don't have much choice
though.
Chris.

Bridging from Wi-Fi to Ethernet is no trivial matter. Typically the Wi-Fi
device must be an access point. In your scenario the only way to go is NAT,
i.e. using the sharing method you actually described, which really ought to
be working. In Windows there are a panoply of different solutions, some
including driver support from the Wi-Fi card, some just emulating the access
point function in software. But on Mac, alas, this is much less true. And,
honestly, that’s just as well, because software solutions are pretty lame
and flaky anyway.
I would look at your router, yes. Specifically, I would look at throwing it
in the bin, and getting an AirPort Extreme and an AirPort Express, but that’s
just my preference. There are other approaches, such as HomePlug, which may
very well do what you need without much of the expense (but with much more
toxic effects on radio spectrum).
It’s over to you. What do you want to do?
