Q1: 
What OS are you using?

Do you have a hub? While it IS possible, you'll have an EXTREMELY 
difficult time getting your network online without one (Your server 
would need 2 NICs, and it's hair pulling trying to get them both 
working, on win98 anyways :) ).
I don't have a hub, so I have yet to get as far as setting up proxies. 
Can't help ya there.

Most games use IPX protocol, which isn't installed by default. You'll 
need to go into your network settings and add that protocol for each 
machine.

Q2:
euTCP4u works very well. I have IRCplus(IRC server) on one machine, and 
my IRC chat program using euTCP4u on another. No problem.

What do you mean on the same machine? Generally you wouldn't use a 
networking protocol to do this. Just guessing, you would normally use 
windows messaging to handle intraprogram communications.

If you mean for testing a network program using just one machine, you 
can set the client and server addresses to 127.0.0.1(Local machine)
