Also, the client computer has to be on the same network as the server for it to work in your case.

Thank you for your Reply
All Computers are in the same network, This chat service is internal communication only, I don't need they to have access outside. I'm using the Maverick Server 3 and already add All users and they log in with no problems but when I try to use this service to communicate appear this message.

Then you don't need a messaging server. Use Bonjour.

The Little I do know about setting up iChat server as it was called in earlier versions was that it needed something called reverse DNS to be correctly sorted.
I have looked for some in the Lion Server Community

Aug 13, 2014 2:27 PM in response to Jlyraby Linc Davis,You must have a working DNS service, and the server's hostname must match its fully-qualified domain name. To confirm, select the server by name in the sidebar of the Server application window, then select the Overview tab. Click the Edit button on the Host Name line. On the Accessing your Server sheet, Domain Name should be selected. Change the Host Name, if necessary. The server must have at least a three-level name (e.g. "server.yourdomain.com"), and the name must not be in the ".local" top-level domain, which is reserved for Bonjour.
The primary DNS server used by the server must be 127.0.0.1 (that is, itself) unless you're using another server for internal DNS. The only DNS server set on the clients should be the internal one, which they should get from DHCP if applicable.

In the Lookup pane, type your three part server name in the form myserver.mydomain.com. It should show your IP address in the answer section. This is the 'forward" part of the lookup.
Now enter the IP Address that corresponds with your server name. It should show your complete three part name, of the form myserver.mydomain.com AND NO OTHERS. This is Reverse Lookup.

Aug 24, 2014 4:53 PM in response to Jlyraby Jlyra,Dear All
I have question, my Server is Local Intranet only, I will not use this server to external access, just question, if I change the host name to server.myservername.com, can I use the server to intranet only?
Thanks a lot for All Help

Aug 24, 2014 8:56 PM in response to Jlyraby Grant Bennet-Alder,You can make up a name as long as it does not conflict with a real name or one that someone would use on the Internet. I use a made-up name that is awkward, has two sets of double letters and a hyphen and ends in .edu -- No college will ever use that name.
But if you ever get a real registered domain-name, you will have to set up your server again with the new, legitimate domain-name.
