Norm, I have a similar setup. However, since the Airport base station 
IS a router, couldn't you skip a step and get rid of your separate 
router, and plug your iMac directly into the base station? That's what 
I've done - one airport card in my iBook so I can go wireless, and my 
daughter's iBook (or any other computer) connected by an ethernet cable 
into the base station's LAN port.
