Hi,


If you have set up a Google Talk account in iChat then the name/ID and it's password should be the same as you use logging in to Google.


You have to have a Google Mail Account (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com)

On your Google account settings you need to have enabled "Talk".

In setting up the account in iChat you must type your name the same way the Google Mail Web pages shows your name (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com)


In iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Google talk > Server settings it should read Port 5223, SSL and the server is talk.google.com
