Hello, I am 6month apple ibook user, and I decided now that it is time to connect my laptop wirelessly. ok Ihave pruchased thed airport extreme card for my laptop, I see Apple has a ne Airport Express, I was wondering what else would I need. My desktop is a PC and is connected via Cable Modem, so would all I need to do is connect a ethernet cable from the cable box to the airport express.

HELP, CAN ANY ONE TELL ME WHEN I NEED TO DO

What I did is to buy an Airport Extreme base station (similar to airport express - got one of those on order too!). The instructions will tell you how to configure the base station (or airport extreme) to secure the transmissions.

Here's how I plugged things in:

DSL Router/Modem
- Network cable to PC or other Mac
- Airport Extreme or (Airport Express)
- Wireless connection to laptop.
