    You need broadband and have your pc connected to it by LAN card and LAN cable or a wireless LAN card and connect wirelessly.

    Lan card = built into motherboard.

    Soundcard = built into motherboard. You can buy a better quality one if you are unhappy with the quality of the on board sound.

    Wireless LAN = Usually you have to buy this separate, this can be built into some motherboards.
