You'll need an Ethernet card or port in your PC and a wireless adapter in your Macbook (it probably comes with one).You'll need to set the PC for file and printer sharing, and share any folders you want the Mac to be able to access.You'll have to set the printer itself to be shared.Someone else will tell you what you have to do on the Mac end.As far as the PVRs and Wii, you may or may not be able to keep them off the network (as far as being able to share between them and the computers - they have to be "on" the network to connect to the internet, since that's where the internet connection will be.)
