Cannot connect inside lan

Hello All

This is my first post.

I am really confused. The install went very well. I can log onto the admin page with no problems.

I have a static IP of 192.168.2.100 and port 5222 is open on the server

hostname -a = mychat

hostname = mychat.sites.net

I have created two users admin and stevek

I am now attempting to configure pidgin to connect on the actual server pc,, and from another pc within the net

I cannot figure out how to configure the IM client to connect.

Can someone show me a step-by-step on how to?

I built an Openfire chat server and it works great for chat,, but I would like to try ejabberd so I might have audio / video chat also.

Thanks for any assistance
