I have 2 n/w cards on my desktop...is there any way i can use shared
internet connection to share that internet connection and then setup
the wireless internet connection...

Just plug the Ethernet from the Wireless AP to the desktop. Enter the
address of the AP in the browser to start the set up. Change the
passwords and channels, etc.. Once you've done that you can log on
from your wireless cards to make changes to the setup.
ICS is pretty hard to setup. I like "Proxy" from AnalogX. It's easy,
award winning and free. You will also need to run Zone Alarm since
Proxy leaves several ports wide open.

Have them replace the cable modem since USB + networking = Trouble.
