Now everything seems obvious.

Provided there are no firewalls running either on server1 or server2 it should 
have to be as easy as (if this gives you a "command not found" you'll need to 
install the iproute package):

On server1:
`ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev eth0`

On server2:
`ip addr add 192.168.0.2/24 dev eth0`

Now, you should be able to connect by IP from server1 to server2 and back 
(like `ssh root@192.168.0.2` from server1 or `ping 192.168.0.1` from 
server2).

Cheers.
