    Sure can. One of the things I like about the web, you can find info on anything, as long as you know where to look. Try this and get ready for a lot of reading: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/

    As everyone else has said, yes...The ease of it depends on whether or not you're just trying to network them...If you're trying to share an internet connection, it's gonna take more effort than that, but if you're just looking to link a few PCs together for a LAN game or somethin' like that, then this will certainly work. The easiest way to do it is just to go and install all the network cards and then install IPX/SPX. If you want to use TCP/IP, though, you'll need to assign each PC a unique IP address. Actually, you'll really need to assign each ETHERNET card an IP address...Give them IPs in the range of 192.168.*.* and you're good to go. When you game, though, if you start a game on the master machine (The one with multiple cards), you'll need to pick one IP and stick with it. Otherwise people will try to connect to one where there's not really a game running. :-)
