Oh that explains what you meant by publicly accessible. MY jabber
server has to be publicly accessible! It makes sense. Sorry I was in
haste and was not thinking clearly. So, my machine has to have a proper
static ip address and a domain name that links up to that ip address. 
My "home" machine that is running ejabberd has an IP address but I dont
think its accessible from the outside. I have an IP address which I
obtain from connecting via ethernet. I can't try connectig with/joining
the chatroom on the remote server with just my IP address , can I?

That is why I was trying gtalk but that would entail using the
encrypted channel thing.
