Hi, Forgive me for jumping in and if I am now posting about something different than you are talking about... Just thought that if it could be useful, it could save you a few bucks...
There is a store on eBay that sells Wi-Fi base stations (802.11g) for around $24.90 or something like that. I have them bookmarked on my iBook, but of course I can't access that right now... But if you go and do a search on eBay, in the stores, you should be able to find something. If you can wait, you can let me know and I will find it as soon as I get the iBook fixed... Try searching for wireless router or something like that. I e-mailed them to ask about these routers, as a friend of mine was interested. They said they would work both for PC's and Mac's. I never thought you could get something like that for that ridiculous price... I paid a lot more for my airport express, but I am really happy with it and it was no work at all to set up... Can't remember the other specifics about it, e.g. how many computers you could hook up to it if you used it for a home network etc., but I am sure the listings gives these details. You can also get quite good prices for airport express/extreme on eBay... Of course I have no idea at all about the quality of these things, but I am sure that if you found the listings, and could post here about the type/brand etc., somebody would know...

Here's a webpage with more info: >http://www.vonwentzel.net/ABS/Evolution/index.html Maybe this does not help, but the Graphite Base Station *can* be used as a bridge. I have one. It is set up with a checkmark on "Enable Airport to Ethenet Bridging" and with all options for "Nat" and "Dhcp" turned off. Granted, my setup is different than Vicki's, in that my base station is *wired* to the modem/router and my 'books connect *wirelessly* to the BS. Nevertheless, wired and wireless computers do connect to each other and to the internet. Whether this may also work the other way around, I do not know, but it wouldn't hurt to try.
