Establish a connection between two computers?

I'd like to know how to establish a connection between me and another
computer via a ruby script.

Also If you happen to know a good place where I can learn networking on
ruby that'd be great.

see tcp_server and tcp_client and gserver
    udp_server and udp_client
    Ruby remoting (ie. drb)

That's rather vague... What kind of connection?

GServer (in Ruby's stdlib) is probably the easiest place to start: http://rdoc.info/stdlib/gserver/GServer

Here's an example of using it for a chat server: Simple Ruby chat with GServer · GitHub

Apologies, I'm not good with TCP/IP thing so I was wondering a type of
connection like chatting (3-4 people chat), Or sending files.

Sending data
My computer --> Server --> My another computer

Receiving data
My another computer --> Server --> My computer

I'm thinking that it would be better If it was a direct connection
rather than the server standing in front of computers.
It is possible? Without a server? To send and receive files?

Last question would be
Can I turn my computer itself into a server? Or does it have to be a
website?

Don't worry about my computer not being able to handle the requests,
Just two computers sending/receiving data.

If you're not thinking about a webapp and HTTP requests or using
other existing protocols (like ftp, ...) you probably want TCPServer
and TCPSocket.

Learning about threads might be useful, too, when you want to
write a chat server and client.

See the links Regis d'Aubarede provided, and you should easily
find more examples online, even specific tutorials on building
a chat server.
