Share HD and printer with AE across 2 networks?

[rdowns]

I have 2 networks set up in my house. I use an AE base station for an 'n' network and I have an Express bridged for 'b/g'. If I connect a printer and hard drive to the AE base station, will I be able to access those peripherals from devices on the 'b/g' network?

Answer is yes.

If you've bridged, rather than created a new network (did you select bridge or network address translation in the setup screen?) then the b/g stuff should be on the same subnet as the n stuff, and bonjour should find it.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm almost positive they're bridged as that was how I was instructed to do it. The networks do have 2 different names though.

Two different names is fine.

Two different doors to the same house, basically.
