Depends what product you are talking about.

http://www.dabs.com/uk/productView.htm?quicklinx=311V

something like that will allow you to share an internet connection and create a wired and wireless network plus its got an inbuilt firewall.

Depends what you want to do really

If you want to share both an internet connection and share files locally on a network, you will need to buy a wireless router and a wireless network adapter for the other PC. You can connect your main PC to the router with a wire, and use wireless for the other PC.
This site has some handy tips on it.

I currently have my 3 PCs connected via a Dlink Wireless/ADSL/Router and Dlink Wireless cards. It's quite easy to set-up. Just make sure you have your BT Broadband Starter pack to hand to get the Broadband settings to get connected. And leave the wireless network cards in DHCP mode so that the router assigns the necessary IP addresses.
