I hope somebody can help me...

I'm trying to use a Linksys wireless USB adapter to connect a Windows XP PC to the Internet using an Airport Express base station. Both my MBP and a Vista notebook connect to it just fine, but I can't get XP PC online. I tried to install firmware version 6.3 to ApExp, but I get a message on saying the firmware update is not compatible and to verify that it's really an Apple Airport Express Base Station...

The software for the adapter will first tell me that it cannot associate with the access point, then it says it can but can't find the Internet. I've found similar problems on a few forums, but none of the fixes have worked for me. (firmware update, manually keying in network ID, etc).

Can anybody help?
