You would have obtained a better response posting in the "Live Audio Administration" forum.
I am not really sure what you are asking, but I think it would have to comply with the TOS below:

The question belongs here. It's not a Live Audio Admin topic...

To answer the OP's question: Yes, you can listen to RR Feeds directly on your Internet radio.
There are multiple ways to do this. One is to use an application (like the one for the SqueezeBox... I don't recall its name) that makes this easy.
The OTHER way to do this is to directly access the URL associated with the RR feed from your Internet Radio. The problem with the direct access approach is (a) RR doesn't appreciate direct connections to URLs... I'm not sure if it's a Terms of Service violation or not, but I *do* know it's discouraged, (b) The URL isn't deliberately made public by RR so you have to find it yourself, (c) The URL can change over time.

Wifi radio
If you get a Logitech Squeezebox WiFi radio you can get an app for it called ScannerBox which will allow you to listen to all the feeds directly from the radio.
With the app you can browse the full list of feeds and even create a favorites list.

No...
You have to have the Squeezebox server running on a computer, and the Squeezebox connected to your network. You could connect the computer and Squeezebox to an ethernet hub or switch to accomplish this but you still need internet to the Squeezebox at the same time. So what your asking, just connecting them together, not going to work.
If by wireless you mean you have Wifi then no problem, connect the Squeezebox to your wireless network, install the server application on your computer, and then follow the tutorial on the Scannerbox website to install.
need help getting the scannerbox app to work the wireless connection is working able to play my own music in the rest of the house from the list on the computer . tryed the steps in the install guide and everything looks good but when i go to look in the radio for scannerbox under app insteller their is nothing. i even double check the url that i was giving and nothing works and help please. and the box for the thing in app installer is u check.

Double check that the URL entered into the Squeeze Center server software is actually getting saved when you hit the Apply button. Also, make sure that computer can get on the internet.
Take a look at ScannerBox.us - Streaming live audio feeds to Logitech Squeezebox Radio and if you still can't get it to work send the support email on the page a message and I will take a look.
