I have MDK 10 installed and I'm connected in local wireless network. All other coputers are windows machines. Samba works great and only problem for me is chat with friends in network. In windows I have BorgChat but in Linux I don't know what to use. Is there any program for chat between clients?
We don't have server in network.
It looks like the BorgChat program is a home made job, so its got its own transport. If you want to connect to your Borg friends, you'll have to email to the author of the program. Otherwise, you may all want to use a client that interacts with the "winpopup" protocol. I don't know of anything else that doesn't require a server.
