Welcome to Speedguide! :)

I would recommend just picking up a wireless router and then the XBox wireless adapter and you're all set. ICS is a nightmare and gaming performance with ICS is severely lacking, not to mention the overhead it would place on a wireless adapter, if it even works. Besides, wireless routers are dirt cheap these days and offer basic firewall protection. :thumb:
