This is the nmap log from the litecoind host seen via the LAN:

Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-02-23 21:30 EST
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.16
Host is up (0.038s latency).
Not shown: 997 closed ports
PORT    STATE SERVICE
135/tcp open  msrpc
139/tcp open  netbios-ssn
445/tcp open  microsoft-ds

There is no rpcport 9332 open so I dont understand how I can connect in first place.

I tried putting the server in a DMZ but im not trying to acces it from outside my LAN so I thing it might be pointless...

Just to be sure:

$ nmap 192.168.1.16 -p 9332

I have issue connecting my other workers.

I edited litecoin.conf file to this:

    testnet=0
    rcpuser=user
    rpcpassowrd=pass
    rpcport=9332
    server=1

When I connect minerd via local host: 127.0.0.1:9332 everything work! I even connected 2 workers to localhost successfully.

When I try to connect another workers from the LAN it cant connect.

When I scan the port of the machine running litecoind daemon, the port 9332 is closed.

I disabled Windows firewall.

How can I remote connect the others workers to the litecoind daemon via LAN?

Ok now I feel stupid everything should be there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=47417.0

I already mine with a pool but I want to learn how it works. Here at my house we have 3X OC I7s and couple old pc...

I just downloaded Litecoin source and I'm trying to understand how to solo mine with cpuminer first...

I want to know if it's possible to run one of the older computer as a server for the others to work as a team.

I want to combine my computing power to create a private mining pool on my lan. I understand how to setup the workers but I am unsure about the server side. I will use Ubuntu or Debian for the server.

I know there is Bitcoind but I am unsure if I need the same software for the LTC server.

Anyone could point me to the right direction?

Many thanks!
