I'm sorry, but that isn't possible. See this Microsoft Knowledge Base

Hi, Derrick -

To add to Steve's comments a bit, if the G4 is running OS
X AppleTalk isn't necessary ;-)

You didn't say whether the machine was running OS 9 or OS
X but here's a pretty good readme on how to connect an OS
X machine to a Windows network -

Good luck!
