try combos of :

username
username@machinename (no domain)
username@machinename.domainname

in my examples:
mark
mark@technobear
mark@technobear.local

there seems to be an oddity that ichat insists in the setup account tab to need domainname i.e. user@machinename.domainname BUT it doesnt on the authenticaion dialog which then populates that tab :)
