Is there a hidden condition in this question? Are you saying how do you
configure Pidgin to provide instant messaging locally, but without using
any other server or service?
Pidgin is basically a client, and needs a server. Most people running
private IM services use XMPP based servers. You will either have to
nominate one of the user PCs to run the server, or you will need a
dedicated machine. I can't imagine that you need a very powerful
machine. My guess is that a 20 year old desktop will have enough CPU
power, although you may need to upgrade to 10 year old for memory, as
most may be designed for a bloated environment.
I can't rule out the possibility of a Pidgin plugin that operates as a
fully distributed IM service implementation, but I can say it must be
pretty uncommon to use it.
If you just want to use a public service (NB at least some do not allow
business use) then the question has to be which service and what
firewalling and NAT is being done by the router.

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
