If you go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/ and click on 'listen live' that should do it - if you need to download any additional software, just follow the prompts.

If you want to listen on a normal radio, buy a small 'transmitter' such as this: -

http://www.digibuys.co.uk/200-Channel-FM-transmitter-with-LCD-Screen-and-USB-Port-p-6.html

and plug it into the earphone or 'line-out' socket on your laptop, tune to a clear frequency - say 99.7MHz (depending on where you are) and you should get reception throughout most of your house...

I bought one from Fatisa in Karaoğlanoğlu - before they closed!

The transmitter runs on batteries, but can also be powered from a USB socket - it doesn't get the 'signal' from the USB however, you need to use an 'audio output' as stated above.

Let me know if you have any questions.

When there is footy on five doesn't it "reject" you if you don't show a UK IP?
