Sorry, though this is good info too. I actually meant accross dial-up
connections on an ISP. I understand that you get assigned an IP address on
connection with the computer.

Monte, what platform are the 2 computers? If they are macs you just plug an
ethernet
cable between them, set the ip address to whatever you want for both (in
tcp/ip control
panel -> manual) and you are all set.
More or less the same for any platform except that you will need to install
2 network
cards.
