I bought an EMac from my friend today and I was wondering how to connect to the internet. I know this is probably easy but this is my first Mac so Im a little lost.

G'day and welcome to the forums.

Depends on the model. By dialup or broadband, and if it has an Airport card fitted, wirelessly also. First you need a modem/router for whichever way you propose to go.

Got an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP)? If so is it a DSL or dial up account? That is the first step and if they are Mac friendly they will have a guide on how to do this.
