short answer yes. you can setup one box which connects to the internet and share the connection. all you'd need is a crossover cable between your 2 pcs. if you wanted to share the connection between more than 2 pcs you'd obviously need a hub or switch. what OS are you going to run on the 'dedicated server'?
