Let me preface this by saying I've read several accounts of people online attempting to do the same thing I'm trying to do, but there are enough differences in both software and hardware that something comes up that doesn't match their experience.
I've got both an iMac G5 and a MacBook connected wirelessly through my Airport Extreme Base Station. I also have an old iMac G3 which doesn't have an airport card, and it's in a back bedroom so a wired connection isn't possible either.
I'm wanting to use the G3 as basically a media server, hook up a big external HD with my entire iTunes library to it, and then stream it wirelessly to an Apple TV.
I need to be able to use an Airport Express to convert the wireless signal to an ethernet connection, to connect to the G3. Does that make sense?
I've found a couple of step by step tutorials, even with pics, but all of them are using the Airport Utility software included with 10.4, and I'm running Leopard on both the G5 and MacBook, and the options are almost completely different.
I know I need to set the Airport Extreme to act as the main WDS unit, which I've done (correctly I think). The problem is setting up the Airport Express as a WDS remote.
Any help would be absolutely amazing, and much thanks in advance.
