Is it possible to to connect to multiple networks at the same time using the AirPort wireless card on my iMac 21.5"?

Can I connect to an ethernet-based network at the same time as I'm connected to one (or more) wireless networks?

Can I share files directly between a PC and Mac via ethernet? How so?

Thanks.
