[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 234882, member: 3850"] Okay, step 1: Buy a wireless router. Step 2: Make sure both the PC & the mac have airport / wireless lan cards in them. Step 3: Hook the router up to your cable/dsl modem and set up the network (usually done by hooking up a computer to the router via an ethernet cable and entering a specific IP address in a web browser). Step 4: Surf away! This is obviously somewhat simplified, but should give you a general gist of what you'll need. If you don't yet have broadband, you'll most likely have the option of getting a free/cheap wireless router with your new provider when you sign up. Otherwise just get Apple's airport express is you want minimal fuss, or any cheap generic wireless router if you want the no-frills option. If you iMac doesn't have airport built-in (check the apple menu-> about this mac-> more info), you'll need to buy an airport card (not the airport extreme card) [/QUOTE]
