But, does it provide any clues as to why iChat won't connect to my
ejabberd server? I've tried setting the server to:

bc.local
127.0.0.1
localhost

but it still won't connect. Actually, the connection behaviour is a
bit different depending on the server name I use. For 127.0.0.1 and
localhost, I get an immediate message back in iChat that says "Could
not connect to Jabber. Could not connect to host localhost" (or
127.0.0.1). However, if I change the server name to bc.local (my
machine's name is "bc"), I get a message "Connecting..." but, after
about a minute or two, it comes back with the same error message.

I initially installed ejabberd with bc.local as the server name. I
have now uninstalled ejabberd and re-installed it with localhost as
the server name. However, I still get the same behaviour (e.g. -
immediate error message for 127.0.0.1 and localhost but a delayed
error message for bc.local).

With both the bc.local install and the localhost install, Psi was able
to connect to the server without any problems.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bill
