Yes. It's possible to do. You use one of the e-mitters included in the Media Center Remote Kit:

MC on your HTPC could also just import the server's files (using Windows networking) without running Library Server on the server.

This means that
1. I'll have to run library server, on the HTPC and connect to it's library from the netbook. Correct?
2. The library wont be 24/7 available, as not served from the (24/7 on) server PC.
So, "llafriel", how did you settle with this? I copy your setup below, which identical to mine.
"I have a server tucked away in a closet. It's on 24/7, but doesn't do any playing. In my living room I have a htpc and a laptop. These connect to the server whenever I want to play music,films or browse my pictures. This, of course, using MC's library server on the server. I also connect to the server from work for music. I like this setup because of noise, the physical size of the htpc and so fort. Tremote has no use in this scenario as it is now, because my server isn't connected to any speakers or monitors. What I would like to do is connect to my htpc from my laptop and using tremote to control it while the htpc is connected via library server to my 'closet' pc."
