My friend's PC doesn't have a wireless card and so I can't try Spiff's other suggestion. Mulitcast ping on 224.0.0.1, per Spiff's question, does get responses from the Airport Express as long as the WinXP firewall is turned off (which is as it should be I suspect - legitimate Bonjour requests should benefit from the Firewall exceptions above). Also, the symptoms are the same when the WinXP Firewall is switched off. However iTunes (iTunes.exe), Airport (APAgent.exe), AirPort Utility (APUtility.exe), Bonjour (UDP 5353) and the Bonjour Service (mDNSResponder.exe) are all registered exceptions.

Clicking Update in the daughter window seems to nudge the underlying AirPort Utility into finding and displaying the AirPort Express, which it doesn't do on its own even after clicking the Rescan button. function within the AirPort Utility and enter the AirPort Express' IP address and password, then I can reliably get access in a daughter window to configure it. Unfortunately, iTunes or the AirPort Utility don't reliably discover the existence of the device. To perform a hard reset, hold the reset button for 10 seconds, then set up the base station once again.I bought an AirPort Express to enable music in a different part of a friend's house using the AirTunes feature.
