You will need crossover ethernet cable (or ordinary ethernet cable, and at least one computer that supports automatic crossover). You would then need to set up one server to act as a DHCP server for the other.

"sudo aptitude install dhcp3-server" (on the Ubuntu box, this is).

I'm guessing this will start itself up automatically....

Can you help with this problem?
