yes -- so long as each one has an IP assigned to it (provided there is no
DHCP server).
Example:
Internet
|
Firewall
|
Switch
|
----------------------
| | | |
A B C D
Assuming that:
A: 192.168.0.100
B: 192.168.0.101
C: 192.168.0.102
D: 192.168.0.103
A can "call" B at ip address 192.168.0.101. All the computers will use
"Firewall" as the default gateway to access the internet.
