This is getting old in a hurry!

Here's what I get - EVERY time I try to log in >>>

01:46] Connecting...
[01:46] Logging in...
[01:46] -- *** Looking up your hostname...
[01:46] -- *** Checking ident
[01:46] -- *** Found your hostname
[01:46] -- *** No identd (auth) response
[01:46] Error : Closing Link: 127.0.0.1 (Connection Timed Out)
[01:46] Disconnected from niven.freenode.net

So --- Whass wrong here????
