I'm trying to get irc to work, but I keep getting the following:
*** Connecting to port 6667 of server irc.freenode.net
*** Looking up your hostname...
*** Checking ident
*** Found your hostname
*** No identd (auth) response
*** Closing Link: (Connection Timed Out)
This is on the most recent Cygwin with inetutils installed, running on
Windows XP.
Disabling the (Microsoft) firewall doesn't seem to help.

AFAIK there's no ident daemon in inetutils. You can try
http://freeware.teledanmark.no/identd/ . I got it to work under
XP.

I don't think it makes any difference, but make sure the 113
(TCP) port is open, even if you don't have identd installed.
Here's what I got with irssi:
15:09:43 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.freenode.net
15:09:43 -!- Irssi: Connecting to irc.freenode.net [209.218.71.2] port 6667
15:09:44 -!- Irssi: Connection to irc.freenode.net established
15:09:44 !irc.freenode.net *** Looking up your hostname...
15:09:44 !irc.freenode.net *** Checking ident
15:09:44 !irc.freenode.net *** No identd (auth) response
15:09:45 !irc.freenode.net *** Couldn't look up your hostname
And it connected.
