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.

My ps3 connection gets worse when more than one laptop is in use why is this?

I will answer this using an example.Your Internet connection comes into your house at 100%. If more then 1 computer is connected to the same connection, this connection will be divided equally over the amount of computers.For instance if there are 4 computers connected to your Internet, each computer will get 25% of that connection, therefore it is not working at its full capacity and causing "lag" or connection issues.EDIT: A computer can also be a console using the Internet, such as a PS3, Xbox etcetera.

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).
