Sure it will.  Ok, the network will be very small (precisely 2
machines), but it is a network.  If you want to share your Internet
connection, then one of the machines would need another connection to
the outside world, and you would need to find a way to
proxy/masquerade requests.  The former condition is easy, but the
latter I'm not sure about.
