If you have an 802.11n AirPort Extreme, click here and follow the instructions; an NTFS partition cannot be used through it. If your AirPort Extreme isn't an 802.11n model, you can't.

Connect the drive to your computer, select it in the Finder, and choose Get Info from the File menu. If it's format is Windows NT filesystem, it can't be shared through an AirPort base station.
