That is exactly the set-up I use, only your machines are newer. My son, daughter, and I use G4-ed PM 7500s and a G3-ed Performa connected to the internet via DSL>modem>router and just installed an airport (an older one, naturally ;-) ) to link my son's Pismo and my 1400 wirelessly to the proceedings. It should be a simple matter. Connect the Airport via ethernet to the router and (presuming you have an airport card installed in you PBook) follow the Airport Setup instructions. We had a bit of difficulty only because we had selected to connect "via PPPoe" to the router, and we needed to select "via Ethernet" as the PPPoe protocol is apparently taken care of by the router. Once it's set up, and unless Apple has somehow changed this, any laptop/wireless card combination that complies with 802.11b standards should be able to use it to connect.
