asterisk users - Jul 2004 - freenode #asterisk IRC channel identd problem

Sorry to ask this question here since it's related to IRC and not
Asterisk, but I am having trouble logging into the #asterisk IRC channel
on freenode and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and
solved it.

So here's the situation: Whenever I try to login to the #asterisk
channel I get a message like "you must be identified to login to this
channel." So after doing a little research on this, I found that the
identity thing is related to the "identd" server used to identify
computers on a network. Apparently in Linux there is some identd server
thing that needs to be configured so I didn't mess with this and used
mIRC on Windows which has a identd server built into the program. I have
my firewall forwarding port 113 to the computer running mIRC (which is
apparently needed to listen for the identd requests) and the SOB still
gives me the same message and I can't get into the #asterisk channel.

Has anyone else had this problem and solved it? 

Thanks,
Nate Alpert

Please read the following helptext from Asterisk.org:

"The Asterisk channel now requires that your nick be registered with the
Freenode Nickerv in order to participate. This measure has been
taken to combat spambots and the like. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Please "/msg NickServ help register" in your IRC client to learn
how to register your nick"

This has nothing to do with identd. Run the command and you'll get
assistance.

/O

It's got nothing to do with IdentD and everything to do with registering
your nick on the net/node.

search THIS list to find that you must be registered to nickserv to get
in the channel. It has been discussed many times and at length.

I have a vt1000v laying around from someone who used to have service with
vonage.  Any idea how I could reconfigure it?  The thing is locked down, you
can change the webinterface and go to the "secret" page by typing in
"192.168.102.1\admin.html" unfortunatly all this page allows you to do
is
edit the voip dns servers and do a factory reset.  I cant seem to find a way
to edit the user\secret yet.  Anyone have any experience with this?  Thanks
again.
