Would a Apple computer G4 connect to the internet the same way my Windows 2K
laptop does, with my Win2k machine I just plug the Ethernet cable to the
back and it connects instantly because I have the Router configure already.
Would the Apple G4 powerbook connect the same way just by plugging in the
Ethernet cable in the back as my Win2k machine does?

It could, if the network settings were properly configured. One can configure
their LAN several different ways. If you need help configuring your Mac, you
might consider opening Mac Help and searching for 'connecting to the
internet' and reading what it says as a basic primer.

If connecting to a Cable/DSL modem or on a network with DHCP, yes, the
Mac will connect and configure correctly and automatically, out of the box.

If some settings have been manually edited, they can be reset in the
Network Control Panel/System Pref applet.
