how do you set up airport express to work as a bridge

I have an existing wireless home office set up with PC's. I purchased the airport express to allow my g4 desktop to gain access to the wireless network, as it's set up in another room. The airport is not "seeing" the wireless network, do i need to change the network settings in the g4 or do i need to change the configuration of the d-link 514 router?

g4, Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Hello crcubed. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!

Is your goal to extend the D-Link's wireless network, wirelessly, with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) so that your G4 can gain Internet access? If so, unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of Wireless Distribution System (WDS)...so it very unlikely that your D-Link router can be extended wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX).

The few that are known to work are:
o Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
o Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
o BT Voyager 2091
o Netgear WGR614 v6
o Buffalo WGR-G54
