Total newbie previously PC user - G5 only arrived last Friday!

Have a network up and working in the house with the PC's which G5 automatically joined but I am completely unable to get an AirPort Express to work. Mac doesn't seem to recoginze that it's around..............

Any ideas how I might sort it out?

Turns out mine was faulty too! Managed to get my nephew who knows what he's doing with Mac matters to come and look at it and he diagnosed the problem. Local firm - whom I got it from - accepted his word for the troubles and swapped it for a new one.

It's now being recognised by the network but I'm still, alas, having trouble setting it up and feel the instructions of how to do so are nothing like as clear [and simple] as the majority of other Apple manuals and instructions which, generally, are wonderful compared with doing the same sort of thing on a PC.

Morbiato, welcome to the MacNN Networking Forum! If you can be a bit more specific about the trouble you're having in setting up your AirPort Express, I'm sure we can figure out something that will help you get it working.

I'm assuming you're using your G5 (I'm jealous!) to configure the AX. Is it showing up in the AirPort Admin Utility? What is it doing and not doing for you?
