Any 802.11b or 802.11g access point should work fine.
Can the PC wirelessly connect to an Airport Base Station?
Yes, it's just another brand of access point. As long as the PC
supports 802.11b or g, it should be able to connect.
Can I use an Airport Base Station (which is b) on an eMac running
Airport Extreme
(which is g)?
Yes, but you'll only be able to find an original 802.11b Airport Base
Station used. All of the Airport Extreme Bases (including the
express) are 802.11b/g.
With the PC and Mac connected wirelessly to the base station would
I be able to
plug in a third machine via ethernet?
The Ethernet connection on the Airports is usually used for WAN
connection (upstream to you service provider's network).
Any advise also would be greatly appreciated
I run a Linksys WRT54g as my main router which includes a four port
10/100 switch and 802.11g AP. I also run an Airport Express using WDS
to expand the g network range and to stream music to my AV receiver
with Airtunes. In addition, I used to have an original Graphite
Airport Base station for my 802.11b network, but it's been replaced
out with a Linksys WAP11. I have separate b and g access points so
that my wife's Pismo (or guests with b-only cards) will not slow down
the g network's transfer rate when it logs in.
