You can do this several ways.

If your computer has Wi-Fi (or AirPort on an Apple computer), you may connect to your router.

If your computer does not have wireless capability, you will need to upgrade the wireless card or split ethernet cables. Most routers will have several available areas to plug in a two-way ethernet cable. If you have a standard modem with a single two-way cable, you can purchase an attached router for around fifty USD. These more modern and advanced routers will generally have more than one ethernet port (be sure to check)! You can purchase two-way cables for any of your devices and connect them, though they will need to be close to the modem or router.

If you wish to connect a computer to the internet and are not in reach of your modem or router, I'd suggest checking the wireless card, and if necessary, upgrading it. This upgrade will cost slightly more than a router, but is worth the investment.

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.
