Network Question

[Daniel Nang]

Hello,

I have two computers, both running FreeBSD, accessing the
web via DHCP from the router. The setup looks like this:


                                       Internet
                                            |
                                            |
                                            |
machine1.example.com --- Router --- machine.2.example.com
         - DHCP -                                            - DHCP -


Both computers can access the internet with no problems.
So far so good...

My question is, if I can simultaneously have the computers access
the net as in the given picture and also let them communicate with
each other e.g. via ssh?


Thanks

Daniel
