Should work fine. Just plug the network cable in to one of the spare ports (I take it you're using the XTRA special 4 port thompson wireless router) on the router, and the other end into your PC. Hopefully it will work straight away, but if not, I don't know MAC OS very well, but look for an option in the network control panels along the lines of DHCP... this should be enabled by default.
