if you have a pc or laptop with WLAN, it is easily possible.
I tried it with linux, everything is configurable using GUI-tools: e.g. http://jeremy.visser.name/2009/03/24...etworkmanager/
Windows can also share its internet-connection: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306126/

If you don't have WLAN, you will have to configure a peer-to-peer network over USB. It should be possible, but I never used it. If the USB-Network works, you can use the methods above to share your internet connection.
