I have a Netgear router and wireless network. I have an Airport Express that I use to stream music to outdoor speakers. I just got a PS3, and I want to use the ethernet jack on the airport express to get online but can't seem to 1) have the PS3 recognize the connection 2) get a solid green light

I keep getting a flashing amber, maybe I need to reset it? Even ethernet right to my router, it's flashing amber. Airtunes works fine.

So, can I use the airport express to extend my Netgear wireless network so I can use that ethernet port and how?

I can't get a solid green light on the AE, but it still does airtunes and shows up in the airport admin. I've reset it 3 times and still flashing amber.

I have an old dual ethernet base station and that won't even show up on my computer, only my computer's network. I have my G5 as DMZ wired to my Netgear router for wireless network. WOuld that prevent me from seeing the base station? Can I get it to work with the Netgear and use the dual ethernet to bridge with the airport express?

Ah, just read dual ethernet's can't do WDS which I think is what I need. So, is there anyway to get the AE to work with Netgear?
