Chainring help

Apologize in advanced if this is to beginner, i'm really new to this.

I have a '09 Kona Paddy Wagon (http://www.konaworld.com/09_paddywagon_u.cfm) and the chaingring is 42t and I have such a hard time keeping up with a friend runnin 46/16. The specs on the site don't really show much info on what I need. I believe I should get a 46t, but am also thinking 48t.

Would this chainring work and is it okay?- http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-SUNTOUR-CHAI...3286.m20.l1116 I assume I'd have to get a longer chain also, how hard is sizing a new chain? I'm willing to learn but if it's going to cost a lot more in tools I suppose I can have a shop do it.

I guess the biggest question is what am I looking for to make sure it will fit my crank. I see a lot of weird numbers and things like "10 speed chainring" and such.
