well, you need a wireless network card for sure. If you live in a condo/apartment building, theres a good chance you can leech off of someone elses wireless network setup- I did this in college since I lived behind a fraternity house that had it ;) Otherwise, you'll hafta see about finding a cheap setup online or best buy or w/e.

Unless you can leech like Darnoc said, which means just buying a wireless card and hoping that somone else in your apartment or near you has an open/unencrypted wireless network that you can access. Though this is often considered illegal and if caught I'm not sure, but you might have to pay a large fine or worse. Just a little reminder in case anyone else is planning on doing this.

If you don't have this luxury or are don't want to leech. Then I would suggest first getting a highspeed connection, dsl or cable. Wireless with dial-up just sounds lame and probably won't be worth it at all. Once you have a fast internet connection you will need a hub and some wireless cards and hook them up.
You have two options here. You can either hire someone to do it, either bestbuy or your isp will probably do it for a price. Or you can find out how by either the instruction manual or some nice people at your local hardware store.
Note: I'm not endorsing bestbuy over any other store, it is just that Darnoc already mentioned it and I'm asuming that since they are nationwide that they you porbably will find the most help there. Don't try to ask people at Wal-mart or your local mom and pops store though. Most of them don't know how to set them up. You might find an exception to this rule though. Good luck.
