NEUSTON VIRTUOSO MC-500 + NETGEAR WIRELESS DG834GT + EXPRESS

Please can you help me!!
I have Neuston Media Player (Similar to EyeHome) What I would like to achieve is:
Use the Airport express as a wireless bridge to connect to the media player via ethernet cable. Hence allowing the bridge to connect to my Mac via its existing Netgear wireless network. The problem i am finding is that my netgear does not show up on the Airport Admin utility as a base station. Does anybody have any ideas??

You cannot use the Airport Express as a wireless-to-wired bridge device in association with any model of Netgear wireless router. An Airport Express will only function as a wireless bridge when configured as a remote base station in a wireless distribution system (WDS) - a mode not supported by any model of Netgear wireless router.

I suggest instead that you buy a wireless bridge device like the Linksys WET54G.
