IP without host

[Dave Wiard <dave@lister.acm.wwu.edu>]

is there any way i can set up my machine to use IP but NOT go looking for
a host, anywhere?  i have 2 machines completely isolated and i'd like to
let them talk (ipx would be fine also, but i can't seem to get that
compiled in correctly).  i've got an AMD (nt, right now) and an sx164.
the sx uses the tulip driver for the NIC and it works great with IP.  i
tried to compile IPX and the tulip.c fails to compile.  any help getting
this to work would be great. TIA
