Q: anyone know how to use airport express to bring internet to a powermac G5 model power PC G5 using airport express?

I bought an airport express and was told that I can configure it, and then move it to the G5 and connect it with the ethernet cable giving the G5 access to the network. But the laptop I first configure it to loses the connection once I remove the ethernet cable between the airport express and the modem. When I connect the G5 to the airport express nothing happens. Any ideas?

Mac OS X (10.4.1)
