Hi I just got giving an 5 year old PC. It has 2 ethanet ports and 2 USB ports. I have Virgin Broudband internet and was wondering If I can just get a ethanet cable to plug it from my PC to Router/Modem? Or as I have a wireless router can I just get one of them USB wireless sticks so I can use the internet wireless?

yes, you connect it both ways. you can plug it in with an ethernet cable or buy a wireless adapter. but if it is not running xp you might have trouble with wireless drivers.
