Last week I bought an Airport Express wireless access point for my boss to
use at home use and to take on trips to use in hotels.
As a test I took it to work and plugged in a network rj45 cable and was able
to connect to the internet using a notebook with a wireless card.  The
notebook getting its network connection from the Airport Express.  Can I
setup two configurations for it.
One as an addition to a home PC wireless network consisting of  Comcast
broadband internet connection, Linksys wireless router,
PC and notebook.  Home use will be primarily as a print server.  Other use
will be to change wireless internet connection to wireless connection.   How
do I configure it to the home wireless network and how do I configure it for
use as a wireless access point for hotels.

Thanks,

Mike

At home, the Express will have to be set up to "Join an Existing
Wireless Network" -- that is, to join the Linksys wireless network as a
client wireless device -- in the pop-up menu next to "Use base station
to" in AirPort Admin Utility's AirPort pane. So configured, the Express
will only be usable for printing to a USB printer or for streaming audio
from iTunes to an audio device, such as powered speakers.

When connected to a hotel's Ethernet network, the Express must be set up
to "Create a Wireless Network". In the unlikely event that some problem
arises at a hotel from using the Express for Network Address Translation
(NAT), also uncheck "Distribute IP addresses" in AirPort Admin Utility's
Network pane.
