Well if you read my "double NAT" thread you would know if you landlord is providing the wireless you should not distribute an IP in the person Airport Express and turn off "Connection Sharing" and set the wireless into "OFF (Bridge Mode)".

You landlord is providing a wireless signal. Now you said it is now going through walls, what signaling of wireless is that router doing , b, g or N? If it is going N does your computer's wireless card receive N? Does that router have any security on it (WEP or WPA)? Does it filter by MAC (not Mac) address?
