Of course they can. All you need is a simple hub, network cables with RJ45 connectors and IP addresses for each system and you are on.
Or if you intend to have a server, implement DHCP by inserting an NIC in the computer configure your IP Address properties and connect a cable from the NIC to the hub/switch and cables from the hub/switch to the 2 systems. Double click on the network connection icon on your notification area (assuming your are using WinXP) from the dialogue, click Propertes => internet protocol (TCP/IP) => properties; click "Obtain IP Address automatically" and also "Obtain DNS server address automatically" =>OK => OK => close. This should help I believe.
