So I have a problem. I share a house with a couple friends and they have an airport network upstairs, which I have an airport express configured to participate in, though not in WDS mode. I have absolutely no problems connecting my macbook to the network through airport, but I have an old xp pc that I would also like to add.
It (PC) has an old wifi card, but I cannot get it to connect because it doesn't support WPA and we don't want to relegate the network to WEP, because, well, just because. So is it possible to connect my pc to my airport express via ethernet, and be able to gain glorious internet access? I have the pc plugged in to the express currently, and it doesn't seem to be doing anything for me. Yes , no, maybe so?
Oh, and one another quicky...Is is possible to run different encryption settings from my express station than those used by the rest of the network, or do they have to be homogenized? For instance, while airport network is configured under WPA Personal, would it be possible for my airport express to run WEP and still be connected to the network?
