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.

What windows xp component can be used to share an internet connection with other computers on the LAN?

The feature you are referring to is called Internet Connection Sharing, or ICS for short. This allows a computer with a direct connection to the internet to "share" that connection with other computers on a network. There are many ways to accomplish this, and it depends on your network setup. You can share a connection via a wired or wireless network connection (the LAN portion, or Local Area Network). For information on ICS, see the related links.

What is mens by ics?

I believe you mean Internet Connection Sharing, a Microsoft Windows-based technology that allows one computer to act as a proxy for another computer; the other computer can use the ICS enabled computer to access the Internet without having a direct connection itself. This is most often not used any more, but certain other network-based features in Microsoft Windows depend on the features that ICS provides.

If you buy Xbox live how do you hook it up?

I'm not an expert on the subject, but as far as I know you can connect to Xbox LIVE by: -Wireless -Ethernet Cable -ICS (Internet Connection Sharing, must have ethernet cable) I use ICS, and it works pretty well. For wireless, first you need to buy a wireless adapter (Available at all good retail shops), plug it in to the back off your Xbox and voila! The further away you are from your router/modem, the worse the connection will be. For ethernet cable connection, use the ethernet cable supplied with the Xbox. Again, plug one end into the Xbox, the other end into your router/modem, and voila! Your connection will usually be medium/good with an ethernet cable. If you are too far away from your router/modem, but close to your computer, use ICS. You need to plug one of the cable into the Xbox, and one end into your PC/laptop. Then, on your computer, go to Windows Help and Support, search "enabling ICS", then click "using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). Then, to the right, click "enabling ICS", and follow the on-screen instructions. I hope I have helped. Please message me back if it has worked =)
