I had the same problem with IRC.. the easiest thing to do is install ident2 and run it with: >ident2 -r This will monitor all incoming IDENT requests and send back a random response.. ident2 is available in the ports collection under /security... RSN >Hello all! > >I just set up a IPFW/NATD box for my internal network (of one windows >machine) which is connected to the internet via Mediaone cable service. >I've set it up to be an "OPEN" firewall (refer to rc.firewall) for now >untill I learn to write my own rule sets. > >To keep it short. It works. I can surf the web and check email, but irc >and napster seem to have problems. When connecting to IRC servers using >mirc on the Windows machine, I get identd errors which make things very >difficult to access efnet, undernet, or dalnet servers.

Is there a way around this? How can I fix it so she >(my wife) can access IRC via popular Windows IRC clients.
