Unless your PC is very old there is normally an Ethernet card in it. That should be all you need. (I run my PC from Ethernet and the other 4 from wireless.)
Are you using virgin cable or is it down a BT line?
A simple work around is to get a wireless dongle as in this from Play

Just plug it in a usb and follow the instructions and use the wireless network for your PC.
If you haven't got green fingers then use your fists.
