Although to be fair, I only have my friends word that ICS was unreliable.
Personally I wouldn't even attempt it as I didn't think it would even work at
all for hosting games, which is pretty important.
I do believe you can also do it via bridging though which might be as
reliable. But it still makes more sense to connect the 360 as directly as
possible. Especially many people (not me, as we already know) do not have
the 360 and PC close to each other so it wont necessarily help.
As for PCs being on all the time - I still recon that's a minority. Certainly
few people would leave a laptop on all the time which is what had been
mentioned as being potentially used in this case.
