Hi Alexandre:
I have an airport extreme base station with 2 airport expresses based  
around the house (to boost the signal and connect to sound equipment  
and printers).  I have 4 Macs on the wireless network and 1 PC.  To  
get the non-Apple equivalent passcode launch the Airport Admin  
Utility (Applications/Utilities), you'll see your base station listed  
there.  Double click on it and another window will open, you'll see a  
new menu at the top 'Base Station'.  Click on it and you'll see  
Equivalent Network Password.  Click this and a little box will open  
with the numerical password that you will have to enter on the PC to  
enable it to connect to the network.
I use WEP.  I imagine that wpa2 is more or less the same.  This  
should work.
Good luck,
Tim
