it's not difficult.

first you have to install a wallet on one of the computer on your 'network' or the computer you;re solo mining from.

then let it update (download the block chain)

then create a 'coinname'.conf file with a listening port setup (this varies per coin) and a list of the ip addresses allowed to access the wallet on that port
and also set:
deamon=1
server=1

set a rpcusername and rpcpassword in that file also for authentication

fire up your wallet

then set your miner to point to "http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:rpcport set in the conf file"
username : "whatever you set in the conf file"
password : "whatever you set in the conf file"

no tcp/stratum stuff here - access is all via http on the local network

if you wallet is located on the machine you're mining on yes...

otherwise in my network at home I have my wallet in a windows box (192.168.1.25) and my miners are on linux boxes so my linux boxes point to my windows machine that houses the wallet
