ntl internet question

Ok firstly sorry if this is in the wrong section. Im not entirely sure where to put it. And this is my first post so go easy.

I currently have 2 ntl stb. 1 in my lounge, and 1 in my bedroom. We have a pc in the lounge, which is connected to the internet through a cable going into the back of the stb in the lounge. I have just got myself a laptop, and would like to be able to have internet on both the laptop, and the pc, at the same time. Would it be possible to connect a cable between the laptop, and the bedroom stb to do this? and if so, which cable would i need?

If this cannot be done, I'm assuming that the next best alternative would be to get myself a wireless router. Which one's would people recommend?

Thanks in advance

I believe it can't be done or if it can be done it'll be illegal. Get yourself a WRT54GS wireless router as these are very popular on this forum.

Even if it could be done, you would probably be chaged for another Internet connection.

As SnoopZ has said, get yourself a router and then you will be able to share the connection to all your computers / Laptops.
