Mac and PC sharing airport express?

I have a G5 iMac and a PC - the PC is connected to the internet broadband DSL - if i purchased the Mac Airport Express could i then connect both the PC and iMac to the internet at the same time using our existing ISP?

Thanks for your time

Nick

Possibly, but Macs work with pretty much any wireless router so I would not necessarily go for an airport one. On the other hand if they are close together connect them with an ethernet cable and set the Mac up with the DSL connection and share that connection through the ethernet port.

Wireless without a router

Hi
I was wondering if I have a Powerbook G4 with an airport Extreme card installed and I have a Desktop G5 without airport, can I do Internet Sharing through my cable modem, so I can get online with my laptop wirelessly and without a router or does my G5 have to have an airport card installed as well?
thanks for the help
