Connecting Airport Express to 802.11g LAN

I've had a wireless LAN (Microsoft wireless router) for more than two years. Works like a champ. I would like to ad an Airport Express so that I can stream from my computer to my stereo system. I'm not using the Airport base station. I've read the instructions but can't get it to work. The setup utility offers to set up or modify a base station with no other setup options. Can anyone turn on the light for me?

First reset the AE by holding in the small button while plugging it in and continue to hold it for >15 seconds. The light will change color and flash. Then use the setup utility and designate it as a client. Viola!

Apple is amazingly weak on their instructions for how to use this with anyone elses gear, but this is all you need to do.
