Something I know little about.

Using Airport Express, should this (http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=301248&cks=SPK) card in a pc allow a pc and a mac access the web?

As far as I can see they are compatible

No, not unless your mac has windows

OK, sorry, I didn't really explain that right, as I was rushing out the door.
My brother has a mac notebook, and uses Airport Express to access the net . No problem there. My father has a pc, and installed that card to allow him to access the net wirelessly, to allow them both access, and not one or the other.
Lastnight the mac was working fine; the pc was seeing the network, and connecting, but was asking for a network key.
Anyone know where I'd find this network key?

i think you mean a WEP key. its an encrypted key that you must enter in order to access the wireless network(basically like a password for that network), someone must have set this already, or else your router sets a default wep key on setup.
