During the process of moving house there will be a period of a few weeks I will require to reside with my parents. Can I simply plug their Ethernet cable into the airport express and expect it to work or will I need to set it up again from the beginning?

Thanks
 
You should be able to just plug it in and go. It can retain your wireless network settings, as those don't change when you change internet providers. I do this frequently when staying in hotels or using AirTunes in the homes of friends or relatives.

Thanks for that. They have the same ISP as me if that helps with what you are saying. I obviously want to set my mums lap top up on the network, I take it I just follow the set up wizard on her machine as normal.
