Are you sure this is an OTR issue?  The OTR protocol is completely
agnostic as to the transport.  I don't see how being on a LAN would
matter in the protocol at all.

Can you perhaps supply network dumps showing the contents of the packets
on the wire with Adium?  That might help track things down.
