The IP is probably coming out as 255.255.255.255 because the IRC server software, either: a) Tries to hide your real IP address, from the logs. b) Can not resolve your IP address, or similar. You wouldn't happen to be running identd in a machine that is behind a firewall or masquerading gateway, which blocks the incoming identd requests from the IRC server, right? - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
