If the server and client are on the same computer, TCP/IP seems a little overkill. You could use Microsoft Message Queuing to achieve the communications. Here is some information on it:
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6170794.html

In the event the server is down and you must start it, just use:
Process.Start(@"c:\mypath\myServer.exe");

In a client/server environment, the client should never need to turn the server on in the manner you are talking about though. You should maybe look at combining the client and server into one application. It just sounds like an over-complication.
