internet connection sharing is not the best way to go in my experience...but i guess thats just 'cos i've never got it to work reliably!
Another option is to go for some mains
networking you would still need the router though. This has some of the advantage of wireless in that you wont need to run CAT5 cable all over the house, just a simple patch lead from the plug socket to the PC would suffice, the network traffic is carried over the mains wiring so in effect wherever there is a mains socket there is potential to network a computer! You also wont have to worry about setting up wireless security either...
