sharing a printer and wireless connection

So I'm trying to help out a friend, but unfortunately, I have practically zero experience with Macs. Currently in my home office, I have a Windows PC with DSL and a printer attached. What I want to be able to do is have the iBook be able to access the DSL connection and the printer wirelessly. Is that possible? I have a Belkin Wireless router, so I can connect that to my PC. Bu what do I need to do on the Mac end?

And what about the printer? If I share it on the PC, what do I need to do for the Mac to see it and be able to print to it?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I'm really stuck.
 
Easiest way is to have the router set as DHCP, and the mac and pc can share the connection. Not sure however on the mac seeing the shared printer. However if the mac can see the printer you will most likely have to install the mac version of the printer drivers on the mac.
