Cross OS Networking

I'm new to the networking and so far have only been using
it for my PS2 wireless network. What I am wondering is if I
was to buy a Macintosh G3 or G4 and be able to access my
wireless base which is connected to my Windows computer.
What I am basically asking is if 2 different OS computers
can be on the same private wireless network?

Thanks

In response to your question, yes 2 different os's can
connect to that router as long as you are using the same
protocol on both machines... i.e 802.11B or 11g as long as
your network adapter is compliant w/ either of those
protocols (depends on what protocol your router is using).

If your router supports mixed modes.. then you can use
different protocols on the same machine.. but basically
what im getting at is as long as the router supports the
protocol your wireless adapter is using it will connect no
matter what OS you are using.

I have a mixed network running. Both 802.11 b or g work
and are compatible (g is faster if you have a MN700
router).

In fact, since the PS2 is a non-Windows (and non-MS)
computer, your network is already mixing different OSes.
