Matt,
First of all, the router will have to have more than one ethernet
port if you want to have both the PC and the Mac online at the same
time. The other option is to use an ethernet hub or switch in between
the router and the two computers. (You may have to obtain some of the
information from your broadband cable service provider. But some of
them will tell you they do not support home networks. They will say
that because they would rather sell you another IP address for the
second computer.)
Then, if the router is set up to distribute DHCP addresses, you'll
need to choose from the TCP/IP control panel (I'm trying to remember
OS9 here) "Built-in Ethernet" in the "Connect Via" drop-down menu and
choose "DHCP" in the drop-down menu that I think says "Configure".
Check the PC's network settings for reference.
The router's address is probable something like 192.168.1.1 and the
subnet mask may be 255.255.255.0 or 255.255.0.0
Here is an Apple support document that may help:

Hey listers:
I'm in the process of moving, and my Ruby iMac, running 9.2 (I know,
I'm behind the times) and still using dial up here (ok, I'm REALLY
behind the times). I am moving into a place that will have cable
access, going through a router. One machine runs windows, and I need
to know what I have to do to have my trusty iMac to connect through
the router. Any advice will be appreciated.
Matt
