Connecting only two computers/ different OSs

Computer 1.  Desktop P4, 2.8GHz, 2 NIC connections, Win 2000 PRO
Computer 2   Dell Inspiron 2200, Celeron 1.4GHz, 1 NIC connection, 1 wireless connection, Win XP HOME
 
Question: Can only these two computers be connected together via UTP cable for sharing, files, internet and printer?
 
Yes or no.
 
Thanks,
Woffy

    Yes, provided you use a cross over cable if connecting the computers directly, or have an intervening hub, switch, or router.
