can i connect a G5 to the AIr Express via Ethernet, and access my network?

I have an existing wifi network (generic PC wifi network) and want to add a Airport Express downstairs to stream music into my home theatre system .

I also have a G5 tower (without wi-fi) which I was planning to connect to the ethernet port on the Airport Express. The G5 is too far away from the router to run a cat5 cable directly to it, so a short cat5 into the AE would be ideal.

Any advice as to whether the G5 will be able to connect to the internet using the AE as a bridge?

i have a linksys router but my bedroom where the imac is seems to be a dead spot. Can I buy an airport express and use it to extend the coverage?

I presume I can leave the linksys router unchanged and the airport express will extend the signal?

Another requirement is to hook up my itunes to my Bose Lifestyle 3 system in my living room. I am thinking of the same airport express route - has anyone tried this config?

If I'm simply extending my wireless network from another room, do I have to plug the device into the router via ethernet cable directly?

Basically, do I need to actually wire this device to my existing router/wireless router via ethernet cable, OR is it simply going to to connect to my network wirelessly itself and then extend the range of my wireless signal?
