The router you linked to is fine for NTL BB and should come with at least one patch cable. You will need another for the second PC though, not expensive to buy fortunately.
ICS isn't needed if you move to a router as far as I know as it's for Internet Connection Sharing which the router will handle instead of one of the PCs.
Have you tried removing your network adaptor from your hardware profile and rebooting to see if it rebuilds the connection to ICS?
Post the full error message and we can try and help out with it if you want.
Sharing files and printer should be possible as long as you make sure the PCs can see each other on your network and that the files and printer in question are shared.
