Hooking up internet wirelessly without a wireless antenna?

saltuponwounds

So, I have plugged up my PC and have everything working, the only problem is I broke the wireless antenna and can't bring my internet source upstairs to make my connection wired. I have a Mac that can connect wirelessly and is right next to the PC. Is there a way for me to like use an ethernet cable to plug into the Mac to get wireless for my PC or to just get internet wirelessly in general?

Some PC's can convert the wifi signal and output via ethernet, not sure if your mac can but a quick google search can confirm it.
