I would suggest using a server such as concentric.net prison.net that do not require identd. This is a huge security risk and the only service that requires it is efnet IRC...otherwise it's just an open port ready for cracking. You can go to efnet.org and find a list of servers there. Find one that doesn't require this POS. :) * dids (richard@diddyland.com) [020217 12:34]: ->On Saturday 16 February 2002 8:52 pm, Jim Sabatke wrote: ->Funnily I found out how to do this for the first time, yesterday. ->Open port 113 on your firewall. -> ->dids -> ->> I'm new to irc.
