If it's a tower PC rather then a laptop or something, a PCI network card can be picked up for like 10 bucks.

There are cheaper USB adapters also. The OP wasn't real generous with info. Since he posted in the Nix section I figured I'd link him something that worked with Nix. Since he was just going to use it temporarily for the initial wireless setup I figured it was a quick and easy solution.
