I have a wired router with a PC, a G3 and an Airport Express plugged into it, through a DSL modem. I also have a PowerBook that wirelessly communicates through the Airport Express. All three computers can connect to the Internet this way, but the PB cannot network to the PC or the G3, but the PC and the G3 communicate. I suspect it's because the PB only sees the wireless Airport network. I'm sure this is an easy fix but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Thanks,

The Airport Express creates a different subnet. Therefore, Bonjour/aka Rendezvous will not work. You will need to specify IPs in this configuration.

To get around this, you would have to configure the Airport Express base station to work as an Access Point and not a router. I don't have an AE, so I don't know the specifics of how this would be done. Try doing a search in the Networking forum.

Sorry about the wrong forum. Can you move me to the networking forum?

I've actually got an almost identical problem and would be interested in a solution. Netgear wireless router (as wired hub/router) + airport extreme (as wireless router) = can't see the wired computers on the network.
