all you need is a wireless router, something like a Linksys WRT54GS
your STB will need to be connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Your PC that is currently connected to the STB will need to be connected to the router (is assume it can be hardwired with an ethernet cable to the router as its currently hardwired to the the STB)
i guess you might need a second ehternet cable too
Yep that's right. No need for extra cards for the desktop.
All you need is the wireless router.
Plug that between the STB and desktop. Follow the instructions to configure it's wireless. Your desktop continues as normal, and now your lappy can connect wirelessly too. (at least the theory of it being that easy sounds good )
when you get your wireless router, make sure you read the manual particularly around security. You dont want other people sharing your connection or having access to administer your router.
using it "out of the box" will work but its not secure
