Default PC/Mac Wireless Connection?

I currently run a PC on a Wireless network at home using a Netgear DG824m
router and want to use a Mac Powerbook Pro as well. Can anyone advise of
the Mac will see and connect to the network automatically or will I have to
adjust the settings in any way?

Cheers

Paul

"Mac Powerbook Pro"...

Oh never mind. Start by using Internet Connect, as you do not have an
Airport base station. It's in the Applications folder. Have IC scan for
your Netgear (wireless?) router.

And a jolly cheerio to you too.

Step by step:

Start Internet Connect and choose Turn Airport On. Select your Netgear
network SSID from the Network Name pull-down menu. Choose your
encryption type - and enter the key if you are asked for the key - in
Wireless Security and klik OK; otherwise just hit the OK button.
