Eric,

I don't have your setup but that IP address looks like one of Airports mysterious self-assigned IP addresses I've experienced a few times (like Airport is to fast to wait for the router to assign an IP). It specifically happens when trying to use my wireless router (D-Link 624) set to WPA2 security. To stop it I had to switch it from WPA2 to WPA. If you have that option give that a try. A login or restart may be required afterwards.

If that doesn't help maybe you can turn off DHCP for that Airport Express and manually assign it an IP address.
