A Slimdevices Squeezebox plugs into your home network as if it were another computer. It can either use standard wireless or a wired connection with a CAT-5 ethernet cable.
If you currently have only one computer hooked directly to your internet cable modem, you'll need a router. You can get these at CompUSA, Best Buy or similar places. It shouldn't be hard to find one under $50. Linksys, Netgear, SMC, Belden and others are popular brands.
If you do use the wireless option, be sure and use the security option in the router. You don't want people hacking into your home network or stealing your signal.
