Essentially, that's what you're doing. Each computer on your home
network is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server in your router.
It's an address that can't be routed on the public internet, but your
router will know what to do with it. When one of your machines sends a
message to another, it uses that machine's IP address, and your router
sends the packets to the correct machine. This is the *exact same*
process that packets on the public internet go through.
So the very first step in establishing your home net, is for each
computer in it to be assigned an IP address when it connects.
