Recently, I tried connecting to DALnet and got the message "You match the pattern of a known trojan" and it kept booting me off every server. Well I know my computer is trojan free so I did a quick search on Google, found someone who had the same problem on Xchat and they suggested I change my username in the identd. Sure enough, it worked. Can someone please explain in layman's terms what an Ident Server is, how it works and why is it necessary. I've read the FAQ's but I don't understand. Seems like it's more trouble than it's worth.
