I'v done that with two machines, Concorde and Oscar both with artificial 
addressing.
Snip of my hosts file:

#
# Imaginary network.
10.0.0.2                concorde concorde.baker.net
10.0.0.3                oscar oscar.baker.net

Then, on Oscar I type in:
ifconfig lp0 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.2
route add concorde 10.0.0.3
route add 10.0.0.3 127.0.0.1

Then, on Concorde, I type in:
ifconfig lp0 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3
route add oscar 10.0.0.2
route add 10.0.0.2 127.0.0.1

Then you should be able to use TCP/IP and everything.
