It is possible using a router software (NAT) like 'WinProxy' on the Windows PC.
I have no specific references about which NAT program is the best on the Windows side, but you should search in Versiontacker.

You can do it the other way round too if you have a switch/hub. The iBook can split the internet connection and share it with the PC using the sharing preference.

I've never tried it myself so can't vouch for performance tho.
