You need some way of networking the 2 PC's together, so, I would go for a 'Wireless' router (most also include wired connections), this will go between the STB and your existing PC (using a wired connection), then use the laptop to connect 'wirelessly' to the routers wireless part. Get the 'wired' part up and running first, then attempt the wireless stuff.
You will need some form of wireless connection on the Laptop, some come with it built in (it's NOT Bluetooth BTW, that's different), otherwise buy a PCMCIA Cardbus adapter. I'm sure others will suggest some 'kit' to buy, I can offer my recommendations if needed.
