AnswerThat depends. If your computer and your switch have the ability to create an aggregate interface then the answer is yes- sort of!

On a windows server its known as a bundle. The two NICS combine in software using a single virtual MAC address.

On a switch, this is typically known as am etherchannel or port-channel. both the computer and the switch have to support the LACP protocol.

The reason I say "sort of" is that even with two NIC cards bundled together with LACP, every frame of data between two hosts is sent across the same individual interface. so if all your traffic is from one computer to another computer or gateway, then you're still using only one NIC.

NOTE: making multiple connections from one switch to one computer that does not support LACP will most likely create a spanning-tree loop that brings your whole network down. Make sure you know what your doing!!!!

What is the use of ICS in computers?

ICS is an abbreviation of Internet Connection Sharing, which allows one computer to connect directly to the Internet and share the connection with one or more computers on the same network. This was common practice with older dial-up connections where one computer had to release the Internet connection to allow another to gain Internet access. By sharing the same connection, one computer (the ICS host) could remain connected and share it with the others (ICS clients). With modern ADSL routers and always-on connections, this is no longer an issue.
