No. You only get that if you use a real Jabber server. Here you are
only using the chat portion of the googletalk server. If you want
full access to Jabber's features then you'll need to go to
www.jabber.org.au and get a Jabber id.

I did the same thing. I had to create my googletalk account. I
thought I could jus use my email address. I thought I had created
a googletalk login in IChat but knew that somehow it was jabber
and was then able to go back, delete it and redo it as a google
talk account

I went back in and set up Google and used the google.talk.com
option for the server. Where I think I went wrong is by putting my
Google login into Jabber. Come to think about it, that seemed to
work too.

you have to setup a google talk account and pick a user name.
You can get client software or use the googletalk gadget.

OK, got it setup but I don't have any buddies. Now how do I get
the Google Talks software to enable audio/video and what do I do
with it once I get it? Does it download and export to I Chat?

Jabber is just a protocol that is a standard accross platforms.
Ichat supports the protocol, but it also supports AIM, so you
only have to use 1 chat client for Jabber and AIM. If you
already have a gmail account, then you can already Jabber by
loging into Jabber using your gmail address and password and the
google talk server. Just create a Jabber account in Ichat. If
you already have an AIM account, go into the Ichat preferences
and create an AIM account using your screen name and password.
If you don't have an existing AIM account then it is easy enough
to create one, but like you say, you would need help to get
around that picture thing.

I don't know what Jabber is or how to use it and AIM has that
security feature where you have to type what you see. I never
used I Chat, before I just need to play around with it. Is
Jabber in I Chat and do I need to download Google Talks?

Why don't you just create an AIM account and sign into that
using Ichat? Sign into your Jabber account using your gmail
address and password in Ichat. Ichat can be a Jabber client.
The thing you won't be able to do if you do things this way is
have an audio or video chat with your jabber contacts because
your aren't using the googletalk software. If you are talking
to an AIM contact, however, you can have a vedio
conversation. At least I can on my Imac.

Thanks, then in that case what is Jabber and how can I get
it? Does it have the picture verification when sighning up?

You both need to be on the same messaging service, i.e. AIM
or GoogleTalk. IChat serves as just the conduet.

With using I Chat do I need to use the same chat provider
as the person I want to chat with? For example if one
person is using AIM and I use GMail can we still talk
because we both are on I Chat or do I have to use AIM with
him?
