Soundsticks are speakers. What do these have to do with connecting to the internet?

hehehe sorry that's confusing i guess,

what i meant was, do i really need to separate the express connections of the soundsticks to the one for the internet cable modem and printer?

Are you using an Internet router? If so, what kind?

P.S. Please don't "bump" threads next time, it can take a while to reply to certain questions. Patience please

I don't know if I understand your question, but you will need separate connections for each device. That's why they have their own ports on the APE.

Is your PC wi-fi capable? Is your scanner Mac-compatible and did you plan on connecting it to your Mac or to your PC?

If your PC is wi-fi capable, you can get an Airport Express and plug the printer into the USB port of the AE so both the PC and Mac can use it. The Soundsticks plug into a USB port of your Mac. The scanner can either plug into your Mac (if it's Mac-compatible) or your PC. You can plug a stereo system into the line-out jack of the AE so you can stream music from your iTunes.
