IM Messenger for internal network

Thanks George for reply.
I think this is for only who has AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, Google Talk/Jabber/XMPP, ICQ im. I am looking for only internal network, no outside connection...simple...just for im..

thanks
 
Jabber servers are small and easy to install on any windows/mac/linux machine. Say you have 25 machines on your internal network (192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.125), you could install the Jabber software on any one of those machines (say .105), install pidgin on every machine, and have pidgin connect to 192.168.1.105 for chat. That way, all your chat sessions will remain inside your internal network.

If you are only referring to chat between two people on a network, there are simpler tools available that'll connect two PCs for chatting. I can't remember any right now, but I'm sure someone can recommend something.

List of Jabber servers

I haven't used jabber servers in a while, so I can't make a personal recommendation. But take a look at the features that each server offers (e.g. encryption). Due to the the open nature of jabber, your users are free to use any client of their choice, on any operating system.

Dunno if this still works...

netsend *insertIP* message

Any responsible firewall would block off the port used by net send.

Back in the day when net send was still popular, I got my first date in freshman year by asking a girl out over net send 😀

since xp sp2 (possibly sp1) the service is automatically turned off.

The only thing we ever used netsend for in high school was create bat files to flood computers with messages, that's what you call responsible use of technology and knowledge.
