hello jono.
you could either connect the two PCs up in a LAN via a router, with the cable modem plugged into the router (probably the most sensible way), or perhaps share the connection on the mac and have a crossover cable between the mac and the pc (probably not such a good idea).

there are probably other ways, but personally I'd opt for a decent router (wired router if you're a gamer at heart, or do some serious downloading - wireless if you're in it for the browsing etc).
