Use Airport Express to help Internet Sharing from Airport card?

Can I configure my Airport Express to join the Internet Sharing network I'm transmitting from my Intel iMac? I'm having a little trouble picking up the Internet Sharing transmitted from my iMac on my Macbook as one is in my studio and one is in my house. I have two Airport Express units to work with.

Thanks in advance.

Intel iMac G5, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Sorry, but no. You cannot use the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to extend a wireless network created by your computer.

Instead you should connect one of the AXs to your Internet connection and then use the second AX to extend the first's wireless network.

Wish I could do that.
I'm having issues with my old modem not feeding PPPOE signal to my Airport Express units.
That's why I'm using 'Internet Sharing' right now.
Thanks anyway.
