1. Enter your RPC details of choince (you must pick them for use in miners later) in your bitcoin.conf  (it can be in ~/.bitcoin on Linux, ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin on Mac, not sure where on Windows) on your server:

Code:
rpcuser=YOUR_USERNAME
rpcpassword=YOUR_PASSWORD

2. Start a bitcoin server on one computer:

Code:
bitcoin -daemon

OR

bitcoin -server

The former starts in "background" and doesn't display any GUI, the latter displays like normal client, but allow external connections.

3. Start miners on your clients, for example using poclbm:

Code:
poclbm -rpcuser=YOUR_USER -rpcpassword=YOUR_PASSWORD -rpchost=YOUR_SERVER_IP

And you're done!

Not that simple - you need to add details to your bitcoin.conf so it will listen on a port (defining the rpcport).  Also, it is wise to define networks that are allowed to connect...

Code:
rpcuser=usernamehere
rpcpassword=passwordhere
rpcallowip=192.168.1.* (or whatever is appropriate for your LAN/needs)
rpcport=8332
