Answer:
theoritically, yes
but like chris rock said about driving with your feet, "just because you can do it, doesn't mean it's to be done."
Answer:
Yup, it's entirely possible using Windows Internet Connection Sharing. The cat5 cable you use has to be a crossover cable though, not patch cable. Otherwise it won't work. Here's a link to Microsoft's own instructions on setting up ICS:
