And . . . yes I know why!
It is because I have a nickname that is already in use by somebody else on freenode.

Not quite. This message is because the machine trying to connect to the freenode IRC server either has port 113 blocked on its network, or because it has no identd running. Cf.
ident.

To bad. I like to chat and would even change my nick for that but, to bad . . . you can only log on with your SRP nick can't you?!  |
Not necessarily, as the IRC server being used is a public one, and does not belong to SRP, so to speak.

Just my opinion.
Is somebody still looking for a better solution for the chat??

I hope not. Apart from the nickname issue, which, admittedly, is somewhat cumbersome if your SRP nick is already taken, IRC is the best solution to "chat" there is.
Have you tried using an IRC client (cf.
links on freenode.net) instead of the Java chat on SRP for testing purposes?
