If you already have an Airport Extreme Base Station and your Express is used simply to either extend your network range or to use the AirTunes function, then yes you may plug directly to the Express to connect to the internet although the purpose of the Express is to be able to access the internet wirelessly. However, if you do not have an Airport Extreme Base Station and are using only the Express to connect to the internet, then you may not connect to the internet by using an Ethernet cable and plugging into the Express. This is because if you are using the Express to connect the internet, the ethernet plug will need to be plugged into your modem.

How do you connect a PS3 to the internet through a MacBook Pro MBP has wireless i connected the PS3 to the MBP with an Ethernet chord what do i do now subnetmask router etc. thanks?
I would suggest connecting your PS3 to your MacBook Pro wirelessly and your MacBook Pro to the modem via ethernet instead of vice versa. It's easier. Simply read below and steps have been included for setting up such a network. I don't know the features of a PS3 but if your PS3 has a wireless card, you may connect to the internet using your MacBook Pro if you do not have a wireless router. You will need to set up an Ad-Hoc (computer to computer) network as well as set up internet sharing on your MacBook Pro. Simply follow these steps; (1) Open System Preferences on your MacBook Pro, and open "Sharing" (2) On the left column, click Internet Sharing and check the box (3) Use the drop-down menu to select Ethernet in "Share your connection from..." (4) Check the box next to Airport in the section "To computers using..." (5) Close System Preferences and open the Airport menu from your Toolbar (top) (6) Click "Create Network", add a name to your Computer-to-Computer network (7) Leave the Channel as Automatic, add a password if you require (make sure your PS3 is compatible with your chosen level of security), click Ok. (8) Connect an ethernet cable between your broadband modem and MacBook Pro (9) Turn on your PS3 and perform your usual setup when connecting to a wireless network Hope that helped, if you require more assistance or have any problems/questions, please feel free to message me.

What do you plug your Ethernet in to get internet connection?
The Ethernet port is usually the largest socket on the computer (about twice the height of the others). You run your Ethernet cable from the computers Ethernet socket to a similar socket on a device called a Router. The Router is connected to your telephone line or cable TV or however you have chosen to connect to the Internet. You will need to have set up an account and pay for the Internet connection with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) who is often your telephone or cable TV supplier. The ISP will often include the Router as part of the connection package. Computers (particularly laptops) will usually have built-in wireless connectivity, for example all recent Macs come with AirPort, which will connect to a wireless router without the need for a an Ethernet cable. This means that a laptop can be used anywhere within the range of the router. the ethernet cable connects you to lan
I don't quite understand how wireless internet works If you buy say the Airport Extreme from Apple do you also have to pay a monthly fee or can you take it with you Please Help?
The airport extreme simply makes a relatively small wireless network. The best example of what an Airport Extreme base station is is to compare it to your home phone line and phone. Most people have wireless home phones now. They have a phone line coming into the house and a base station that sends the data received through the phone line to phone handsets somewhere in the house. This is like an Airport Extreme. Your internet provider runs internet to your home (this is the monthly payment). Your Airport Extreme makes a small network which broadcasts the internet in your home. Inside your computer is a wireless card that receives the signal just like your handset on your phone receives the signal from the phone base station. So you don't pay a monthly fee for the Airport Extreme, you pay for the internet that the AE broadcasts. The airport simply makes the internet wireless and your Airport card in your Macbook receives the signal. So you can take the Airport Extreme with you, but you would have to plug it into someone's existing internet that they pay monthly for to get any internet data. The Airport by itself does not have any internet.
