One computer uses a wirless internet connection while the other currently has no internet connection. I want to know if I can connect the two computers together to share the single connection, hopefully through the ethernet port. If it is possible, please explain how. Also, one is a PC with Windows XP while the other is a iMAC with OS 9.2.

Answers for N1
If you are using Wireless Antenna to connect to your ISP, you should have two lan cards. One for to connect to your Wireless Antenna and one for to connect to switch or hub.
And you should know the Ip address, Subnet mask, Default gateway and DNS to connect correctly to your ISP. In the network connections window make sure the Internet connection is using PPPoE. If yes share it .
