I am attempting to use a VOIP phone that only has the means to connect to a hardwired ethernet LAN, and I need a way to connect it to the internet. There is a computer that it can be connected to, so what I need to know is should I get a wireless bridge that can receive from the wireless network and connect it to the phone via ethernet, or if I could find some way to use the computer which has a wireless network adapted to give ethernet internet connection to the phone. Long story short, I need to connect a device to the wifi, but it only has a LAN connection, so only ethernet can be connected to it. This is in a home environment, and this is the best way to set everything up.

You could setup internet connection sharing on your PC to bridge the WLAN connection to the LAN connection and connect your IP-phone to your PC. If you do that though, your PC needs to be on for your IP-phone to work.
Due to VoIP being very sensitive to latency and jitter, using WiFi may not be the best option for it if the WiFi spectrum is crowded in your area or your WiFi gear is less than great.
