Experiences with Airport Express

So last weekend I got an Airport Express, solely to stream music to a stereo.

My iMac doesn't have a wireless card, but I do have a DSL modem with wireless capabilitity.

The setup assistant is really dumb. It does absolutely nothing if you don't have a wireless card. Plus, when I installed it, it deleted my copy of iTunes!

I finally realized that to connect the two I couldn't connect the computer through the router to my modem, I had to connect it directly to the modem. I can't make them peers on the router because then nothing works. It's like the modem refuses to do DNS on more than one computer. Anyway, I'm probably going to end up hardwiring it.

This post probably didn't make much sense. Oh well.
