Sockets?

Can I, over the internet, and/or by using ethernet cables directly, connect two computers to play an online game? (or so something that would need the responsiveness like an online game would)
can I do that with flash using sockets... or with java. How would I set up a server that did that?!

Comet and Sockets

I was on ajaxian.com and I thought this was interesting

Why Comet? Why not JavaScript Sockets? You know, sockets, like what “real” applications use… True bidirectional communications.

I’m using Sockets all the time for my web applications using Flash. It works great.
