I tried openfire that's way too much work for what I want. Just a simple chat that's not online. I don't want to use Yahoo messenger. Or am I missing something about openfire?

You could try Ip Messenger. Its not a full fledged chat software but a LAN messenger based on TCP which doesn't require a server and its lightweight.
