I have just bought a Toshiba HD-DVD player (HD-EP10) to go with my Sony Bravia HD TV.
The Tosh has a LAN port to connect to broadband, to get firmware updates and to be able to access some websites and other content etc from HD DVD movies.
However, it's not practical for me to drag another CAT5 cable all the way from my PC room to the TV room, and I want to do it wirelessly. The manual says you can get a wireless LAN ethernet adapter to do this, but even the IT guys at my work don't know what to suggest, and they question how you can then configure it at the wireless level. Does anybody have any idea? Toshiba don't, coz I called their service desk and they haven't got a clue, saying that 'well the boxes are made in Japan'.....great!
Can anyone recommed what type of receiver / adapter I should get (it has to have a LAN connector, not USB or card) and how I configure it?
BTW... I already have NTL via cable modem and I also have a router with 4 fixed connections to PCs, X-Box etc and wireless router for my home network.

You just need to pick up a Wireless Ethernet Bridge from Linksys, Netgear or D-Link. Try Ebuyer, Maplin and the like.
Have seen them for about £30 in the past.

You can get wireless network bridges which you can plug a wired adapter into, and this will then connect wirelessly to the main wireless router. Much like the XBOX360 wireless adapter but instead of a USB on the end, it has an RJ45 port.

No idea where you would get them, but probably Misco or Dabs.com would be the best bet.
