No you can't unless you play on PC.

If you go to the minecraft website, there's a free Minecraft server download. Load it to the strongest of the computers, run it, and it should show up on the multiplayer menu. If not, hand out the IP address for the new server (i think it's in options, I can't remember, and have fun!
