That would depend on your netmask. If you use the default netmask of 
255.255.255.0 then the answer is "no".

If you're on the same LAN then you can either configure a router to 
forward packets between the two subnets (and set up routes on the two 
machines via this router), or configure both machines to use a different 
netmask (e.g. 255.255.254.0).

If you're on different LANs then you'll need to use a router.
