Airport Extreme base station in place of USB wireless adapter?

[CPB007]

I have the AirPort Extreme base station 802.11n and was thinking of using it as a way to access a wireless signal since my newly acquired G5 tower doesn't have a wireless card.
Is is possible to use the base station as a wireless access instead of the card?

Caveat: I have a MacBook Pro that I use with a built in wireless card. I get my signal from a wireless signal from my upstairs friend/landlord's network. He uses a Linksys router and modem from the cable company.

Is there a way around buying a wireless card or USB adapter for this G5?

Yes you can do it.

it has an ethernet port so yes, you just need an ethernet cable

Any ideas on how to get it working. I have it hooked up via ethernet to the Airport Base but still nothing working. The computer recognizes that the Airport is there.

run airport utility to setup the airport. choose "join network" or something like that in the setup and try see if it works
