So, my PC is hooked to a hub. That hub is hooked to my iMac. My iMac has a wireless connection to the net. Can my PC connect to the net through that wireless connection, and if so, how do I set that up?
Thanks!

If your iMac has OS 10.x on it, then you can share your internet connection. Go to System Preferences, then click on the Sharing icon and then the Internet Tab. Turn on sharing via Ethernet. I copied the following text from mac help found via Finder -> Help -> Mac Help

Sharing your Internet connection
If your computer is connected to the Internet, you can share its connection with other computers on your local network.

For example, if your computer is connected to the Internet using a DSL modem and has an AirPort Card installed, you can share the DSL connection with other AirPort-equipped computers.

On Windows computers, sharing your Internet connection is sometimes referred to as a "network bridge," or 'bridging your network."

Open System Preferences, click Sharing, and then click Internet.
Choose a network port from the "Share your connection from" pop-up menu.
Select "Built-in Ethernet" or AirPort depending on which computers will share your Internet connection.
If you have turned on the firewall on the Firewall pane of Sharing preferences, you also need to turn on Personal Web Sharing on the Services pane of Sharing preferences in order to share your Internet connection and allow computers connected to your Internet connection to browse the web.

IMPORTANT: If your Internet connection and your local network use the same port (built-in Ethernet, for example), investigate possible side effects before you turn on Internet sharing. In some cases (if you use a cable modem, for example) you might unintentionally affect the network settings of other ISP customers, and your ISP might terminate your service to prevent you from disrupting their network.

On the Windows side, set up your ethernet connection to use DHCP. The following link may help you do that:
