    Pidgin gets my vote. We use it at work for our chat solution

    You could try pidgin with bonjour (an intranet chat protocol), there are probably some other protocols that will work, pidgin is cross compatible.

    + 1 though it's not a chatroom setting in it's original set (list of rooms which users can join) it is capable.

    It works by listing user who are on the network. Those users talk directly to each other, or can group themselves with other users to make what is seemingly the same thing as a chat room. It's more like a conference setting though, where each user who wants a chatroom merely brings more people into the conversation. When the conversation is over, there is no room left.
    Which is more important in obtaining the truth, "what" or "why"? Trick question. They are of equal importance.

    Bit confused - do you need an intranet server for work, or a software messaging client?
    If the former, you can google "open source groupware" - a number of options are available. Citadel http://www.citadel.org/ has good reports, and is accessible from any web-browser (and has lots more functions than you require).
    If the latter - it depends on what protocol you use.

    Pidgin has local chat system.
    The above post definitely does not contain any sarcasm at all.
