Hello.
Perfectly possible to make your pc wireless - and easy to do.
You will need a router - Linksys or Belkin are my preferences - and if your pc is not already wi-fi enabled, you can either by a card that fits inside your pc or a dongle that connects to a usb port. The card is the best - and very easy to fit.
You can buy a set - a router with usb dongle - which guarantees compatability.
This for cable (NTL, Telewest) broadband:

And this for any other type of broadband:

These are just examples of the sort of thing you need to consider buying.
