Subject:   Ip filtering with ipfw

I am very new to FreeBSD, and have some questions about ipfw
I compiled:  options      IPFIREWALL 
into my kernel, and added:  firewall_enable="YES"  in /etc/rc.conf
on reboot, I see ipfiltering initializing and the default policy is to deny. After reboot, I do: ipfw list      and get this:

00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0
00200 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
00300 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
65000 allow ip from any to any
65535 deny ip from any to any

which I am assuming is the defaults. Now, to keep it simple, I have a router between my internal machine ( 192.168.1.3 ) and the Internet and I set the router to allow only port 113 in to 192.168.1.3

ifconfig reveals that my ethernet card is on x10

I added to ipfw:

ipfw add allow tcp from 199.163.7.34 to 192.168.1.3 in via x10
ipfw add deny all from any to 192.168.1.3 0-1023 in via x10

199.163.7.34 is the ip of a DALnet IRC server that checks identd
My thinking here was I only wanted 199.163.7.34 to get a identd responce on 113 and block all the others from getting a responce on 113. However, all the OTHER DALnet servers are getting a responce from 113 ( not just 199.163.7.34 ) and when I ran nmap from a friends box, it showed 113 open. 

What am I missing?
