Try a laptop through a desktop computer wireless network. Office uses a USB plug for internet access.

I would like to access wireless internet on a laptop (XP; Atheros 802. 11 b / g) with a desktop computer (Win64) that currently, I connect to the internet using a broadband USB connect the device (AT & T USB Mercury).  How can I build a local network of the desktop that I'll be able to connect in the House with the laptop?  Are there restrictions and limitations when using this type of internet connectivity vs a wired version?  (Because of where we live there is no availability ADSL or cable, just wireless).

If this is the case, then the current senerio would not possible to establish ICS and have it function to your laptop.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.
