Ok, my network situation is like this:

I have my dsl-router with a HUB attached. To the hub is a windowsxp-pc connected which doesn't have wifi and my powerbook who obviously has.

The printer is attached to the pc, so if I want to print from my powerbook I have to switch on the pc.

Now I bought an Airport Express to stream my music and wireless my internet. Works great. However: I'd like to attach my printer also to the AP-Express, so I can print directly without that darn pc switched on.

The problem is: the pc needs the printer too, but has no wifi.

The question is: can I reach the ap-express from the windowspc through the ethernet cables? The AP-Express is connected to my hub with an ethernet-cable so I figured I would be able to reach it through the ethernet-cable without using wifi from my pc. Until now it doesn't work.

Anyone?
