OK gotcha now.
You will need to buy a wireless router which will be fed from the STB.
The laptop and any other PC's can then get their connection by adding a wireless network device to receive the signal from the router.
In that case no wires and no need for main PC to be on for the laptop to be connected.
Other advantage is that within reason the laptop will be able to connect anywhere in the house not just tucked up in bed so you will be able to surf while sitting by your olympic sized pool in the garden too.
