I suspect the OP means "set machine A to use the Polipo on machine B as its
proxy".

In which case, you need to make sure in the polipo config on B you have

proxyAddress = "0.0.0.0"

(or proxyAddress = "192.168.0.1" where "192.168.0.1" is the address of the
internal interface on B connected to A)

For security's sake you should enable the 'allowedClients' variable and add
the address of your network, e.g. 'allowedClients = 127.0.0.1,
192.168.0.0/16'
