Hey guys,

I use an airport express to connect my receiver wirelessly to my itunes collection. I was wondering if I could set it up to plug in an ethernet cable to get my HD-DVD player online? Does that port only work for accepting a connection, or can it share it as well?

I think it will work if I can set it up as a WDS network, but my main router is not an apple router, it is an ActionTec I need to use for my FiOS...is there a workaround?

Thanks!

I think this will do what you want. It worked with my Xbox 360 FYI: I don't have the netgear router they are using, just adapt it to your specific case.
