I have four computers running. One runs Tor, one is my desktop box (though 
it's actually on the floor) and points to the first one for Tor things, one 
is a laptop with its own Tor client, and the other is a Windows box that I 
use for my job and doesn't know Tor (though it's easy enough to set it up). 
You can have one box running Tor with a web browser, Torchat, or OnionCat on 
the other.

The other way to do it is to run Tor on both boxes and forward different ports 
to the different boxes.
