You can connect the 360 to your PC via a cable (you might need a crossover cable), then bridge the two network connections together in the PC. There are loads of posts on it - the only one I can find at the moment is here, but a bit of searching will bring up lots more!

Alternatively you can use a standalone wireless bridge - have a look at this post. If you can pick up a cheap flashable router it costs a lot less than the 360 wireless adapter, and the PC doesn't need to be turned on.

No need for a crossover cable, the 360 is auto sensing/negotiating and a regular patch cable will work fine for ICS.
