Wireless connection for mac& pc

I have an old imac G3 and I also use a Toshba laptop running windows XP. I plan to upgrade the mac for an imac G5. What is the best way to connect them both wireless to a printer and the net.

Airport Express

An Apple Airport Express should do what you want. It comes with setup instructions for both Mac and Windows and has a connection port for a printer. If you want to save few $$ it is listed in the Apple Store 'SAVE' section (refurbished with same warranty as new) for $99 right now.

i completely agree, the express rocks. and its much cheaper than buying a seperate print server and router (if you were going to go non-apple brand)
