Yes.. you can if you have 2 LAN ports on first computer, you then need to connect the other computer to this computer's other LAN port using crossover cable.
After that, just enable Internet Connection Sharing on first computer to share Internet connection.

Best way is to use are router, plug the dsl into the router and connect the computers to it poof instant network. Linksys is very user friendly I have one and it worked right out of the box.
