Yes. I make it a habit of ignoring questions that don't bother to
specify the hardware maker and model numbers. Supplying the absolute
minimum amount of information just makes it more difficult to answer.

I am struggling to find the proper configuration for a Workgroup Client
Bridge (WCB) connecting several wired machines to a working Access Point

My guess would be Cisco hardware. Do I get a gold star?
I can get the WCB to associate (SSID) and authenticate (WEP) with the
AP, can ping the WCB from anywhere on the network,
OK, you have a successful wireless link. I'll assume that since it's
a Cisco workgroup bridge, that it can bridge more than one MAC
address. Depending on model numbers and configuration, there are a
large number of "bridges" that will only bridge one MAC address.
Probably not a problem here.
but cannot connect to
internet from the machine connected via the WCB.
The network configuration is:
Internet >> Firewall (Public IP, running NAT) >> Switch supports LAN
(192.A.B.a thru .g) >>
>> AP (192.A.B.x) supports wireless clients (192.A.B.p thru
.t) >>
>> WCB (192.A.B.y) supports remote wired client
You asked about other ways to ask your question. I have a problem
with word wrapped diagrams that I have to unscramble to decode. I
suggest you change to a top down drawing instead of trying to wrap it
across the page. Converting your mess into something readable.
There's also no reason to mangle non-routeable IP addresses. I'll
throw in my own assumed numbers for the LAN side.

You've indicated that you can ping the Workgroup client bridge from
anywhere on the network.
Does that include both the clients directly connected to the switch as
well as the single client connected to the WCB?
Can they also all ping the access point IP address?
Can they all ping the switch IP address (if it has one).
Can they all ping the firewall IP address?
Is the switch a dumb 10/100 ethernet switch, or a Cisco 2948 Layer 3
switch, or something in between? If it's configurable, are there any
VLAN's or filters running that might prevent proper operation?
The AP metrics are IP = 192.A.B.x, subnet 255.255.255.0, with default
gateway = ISP public default GW IP 216.C.D.E
Wrong. The default gateway of EVERYTHING that's on the LAN side of
the router should point to the LAN side IP address of the router,
192.168.1.1. Pointing to something on the internet won't work because
nothing on the LAN knows how to get to the IP on the internet without
first going through the router.
The WCB metrics are IP = 192.A.B.y, subnet 255.255.255.0, and here is
the question....
What should the default gateway be for the WCB?
192.168.1.1 (Router LAN IP address)
- the ISP public default gateway IP 216.C.D.E?
- the AP's private IP 192.A.B.x ?
- 0.0.0.0 ?
- other ?
