Can WM be used without opening a .NET passport?

[mark.alanzo@gmail.com]

I just want to be able to message within our home network, i.e. no
internet IM access in or out. Is this an option with Windows Messaging?

Greetings,

I'm afraid not, Windows Messenger requires at least one form of infrastructure. You might
find something like LanTalk XP more to your liking for this purpose:

You probably want to set up an internal chat server of some nature
then, I would recomend a IRC server, to be specific RageIRCd. Natrualy
when using IRC servers you have to use a IRC client (you carn’t use
windows or MSn messanger for this), as the client I would recomend
x-chat from http://www.silverex.info/ you could get xchat from it’s
offical website (http://www.xchat.org/
), but unless you wish to compile the source your self it has a 30-day
free trial.
