Logging to Google Talk With iChat

[crees!]

I have a Google Apps account and under My Products I have Talk listed (there is no settings or account link next to it like the other products). I do not have a Gmail account. When I log in using iChat I have my non-Google email in the username field and location set as iChat. But I immediately get the message below. Ideas? I would like to not sign up for a Gmail account just to get access to GTalk.

I think you must have gmail in order to use Talk.

Did you follow all of the instructions here?

Absolutely, and it explicitly states (emphasis mine)

If you're signing in with a Gmail or Google Mail username, enter your full email address.
If your Google Talk username isn't associated with any Google email product, add @gmail.com to the end of your username. For example, iloveyoko will become iloveyoko@gmail.com.
If you're a Google Apps user, enter your full email address (gordon@example.com).

Is your router firewall blocking that port?

 

[crees!]

I forwarded TCP port 5223 to 5223 to this machine and still no dice.

You wont need to forward port 5223 on your router to your computer since you're not running an XMPP server on your computer, merely a client.

I use Google Apps for my backup domain and Gtalk works fine for it.

My settings:

Jabber ID: user@example.org

This is an actual user account you've created in Google Apps.

Server: talk.google.com
Port: 5223
Use SSL: Checked
Automatically discover server & port: Unchecked (unless you've set up the correct SRV records on your domain's DNS)
Warn before password is sent insecurely: Checked
Use Kerberos v5 for authentication: Unchecked
Location: Whatever you want
Use my machine name: Doesn't matter.

So long as the user exists in Google Apps and you have enabled the Chat service it should work fine.

Middling,

Every looks the same except my G homepage looks a little different.
