    Can you tell us what operating system you are using on the MacBook Pro?

     

    If you are not sure, click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac.

     

    Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

     

    It would also help if we knew how you want to configure the Express. What service will it perform on your network?

    Does it show up as "Apple Network b2b387" or similar or "AirPort Express" under your wifi icon on the top of your screen, on the left of the time and battery icons?
