Yes. Each MAC address (each network card has its own MAC address) requires an individual IP address on a network.
In XP you can bridge the connections in Network Connections, but I have never actually figured out why this is preferrable (perhaps if each card is connected to separate networks). This however on the same network will show no improvement unless ran thru a different router using a different address with a different subnet as XP will only default to one card or the other and will not use both at the same time.
there are two types of addresses: network addresses and physical addresses
Nothing in particular. Remember, 127.0.0.1 (localhost) is assigned to an internal pseudo-NIC called a "loopback device." 1,2, or a hundred more network cards are just bound to additional addresses and respond to requests made on them.

No two cards ever manufactured should share the same address. If two cards contained identical MAC addresses problems would be encountered with network communications.
Only two computers, can be connected to a crossover cable, although three can be supported as well, if one has two or more Network Cards (NIC Cards) installed in one workstation. this kind of Network is Known as Peer-to-Peer.

In order to do it you have use either two network cards (wireless + LAN, or two LANs, or two wireless cards) or you can use software such as WMWare to create a virtual PC (using setting you can get one more and even more ip addresses for only one existing in real life computer).
Classful addresses are no longer given out. Traditionally, this would require a Class B network, since it has a large enough range. A Class C network only has 256 addresses, but two adjacent Class C addresses would also work.Classful addresses are no longer given out.

In computer networking, a node refers to a connection point. It has two types of addresses, a network address and a physical address.
the network could not work if they were the same.
LMI protocol, Invers ARP
A network diagram and a spreadsheet of IP addresses are the two most useful tools.
