Wireless compatibility

I have a Dell Truemobile 1184 Wireless broadband router which says it's 802.11b.  I'm using it to connect one laptop to a wired ethernet LAN with 7 PCs.  I have another employee who wants to connect his new Sony computer that has an integrated IEEE 802.11g Bus/Interface - mini PCI Radio frequency band: 2.4GHz.  Is this compatible with my wireless router?

If it's not compatible, is there anything I can do to make it work on my LAN?

    It should be compatible as 802.11g is backward compatible wtih 802.11b.  g is faster than b, so the card will not run at its full speed when it shifts to connect to the b router.
