What do you have at the moment? A PC cable and cablemodem?

Assuming this you need
Wired -
Network Card in PC
Network Card in Mac (usually as Standard)
Patch cables (straight through) x2 one for each machine - long enough to reach where the CM is.
Wired router - say the Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL Router BEFSR41

Wireless / Wired
Does teh mac have an airport card?
Is the PC staying next to the CM
Then a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G-UK
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...819037-1343655
The same network interface card in the pc and a straight through patch cable.

Fully wireless - as above but another wireless card for the pc
