I have a cable connection and the question is if I need
ICS or not. I've been on a dialup connection in the past,
and over the last few days, I'm tring to get two machines
to share Internet with cable.

Do I need to enable ICS?

You can either:

1. Put two network cards in one computer (one for the cable modem and
one for the local area network) and enable ICS on the cable modem
connection.

or:

2. Get a broadband router, connect the cable modem to its WAN port,
and connect both computers to its LAN ports.
