I have just downloaded wireshark - do I need to set up things to get the reports that I need on normal internet usage??

First, verify your capture privileges (read the Wireshark Wiki on this).

By "reports", I assume you mean statistics. Wireshark has several Statistics you can look at while packets are being captured (or after the fact). If you're looking for a specific type of traffic, then you need to setup the display filter. For example, you could use a display filter of "http" in IO Graphs (shown below). The black line (Graph 1) is all traffic, and the red line (Graph 2) is the HTTP traffic.

IO Graphs.
