My PC is connected to the internet via a wifi antenna.
Is it possible to connect the PC to the MAC via ethernet cable or any other means?

Thanks for any help :)

If you're trying to simply network two machines the cheapest and easiest way to do it with ethernet is to get whats known as a crossover cable. Plug both machines into eachother with the cable and set them up with static IP addresses on the same subnet.

Making your own crossover cable?
color coding looking at bottom and left side is first wire
just redo one end of existing cable as cable end 2.

2 o

It's been a long time since I made a cable, so correct me if I am wrong.
Doing this might be a good quikie turorial.
