problems setting up Airport Express on Window XP PC

I have never used an Airport Express before and am having trouble getting started. I plugged the Airport Express into the electrical socket and started the Airport Express Setup Assistant. Right off the bat, the Assistant software gave me a warning that no "wireless interface" was detected. I'm not sure what this means, as I have a wireless network set up (using a Zyxel router/modem). Any ideas on what to do? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

 
The Airport express can kind of be fickle setting up. Try first making sure that it is in the same room so you don't have to worry about building architecture screwing things up. Then press and hold the reset button (use a pin) for a few seconds until the green light blinks a few times. This resets it. Does the computer you have a direct connection to the router or is it wireless too? If it is directly connected, is it connected to the back of the wireless router or into another router?

Hey, thanks for the reply. The computer I'm setting it up with is hardwired to my wireless router. The only reason I have wireless at all is so that my Tivo in the next room can download updates. Anyway, I did reset the Airport. I tried to use the setup assistant two ways. First, I just had the Airport plugged into the wall, but not plugged into the ethernet. I figured it might just pick up the signal. It didn't. Then I plugged it directly into the router figuring that might help, but I got the same error message.

Thanks again for any help you can provide.
