Hi---

  I've got one of the airport express wireless points on my desk at work
as well.  Works reasonably well to my iphone as a win7 laptop in ipv4 mode,
and next week I'll start on ipv6 in prefix delegation mode.

  The good news is that they did come out with the management utility for
windows as well.

Best of luck---
Jerry

The airport extreme is actually really good.  And it doesn't have to be the
extreme either...  Can be the express.  It does IPv6, 6to4, NAT-PMP,
supports active roaming...  The only things it doesn't do, AFAIK, is to be a
VPN server for your home.

There is one significant drawback.  There is one, and only one way to
configure it.  You must run airport utility, which means you must have a
mac.  Otherwise, you can't even do simple things like change its IP address,
blah blah blah.  Stuff you would normally do on a http interface.
