DPlay combined with OGL
The only components of DirectX that cannot be used with OpenGL are DirectDraw and Direct3D/DirectGraphics. Everything else is fair game, including DirectPlay.
However, I hear that DirectPlay is a pain in the rear to use, to the extent that one is better to use Windows Sockets directly.

Need help? Well, go FAQ yourself.
DPlay really isnt that bad to use once you get the architecture down.
I happen to use both sockets and DPlay personally.

It seems to my uneducated mind that DPlay was created more w/ games in mind where sockets is more general, so perhaps DPlay would be a better choice. Although I''ve looked at winsock and it doesn''t look too ugly even though I haven''t got it to work yet
