Irc client Identify protocol. Help!

Question

My client isn't able to connect to the irc server I am trying to connect to. I did some research and it says that I need to listen on port 113 and respond back to the server in a certain format. I am not sure exactly how to do this. When I tried doing it
before I got an error message. Here is the code before I tried listening. The irc sends the message to my client "No ident response". Do I need to create an entire different all together that will listen respond on port 113 or can I do it in here?
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
namespace ConnectIRC
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
string ip = "asimov.freenode.net";
string nick = " NICK IKESBOT \r\n";
string join = "JOIN #NetChat\r\n";
int port = 6667;
const int recvBufSize = 8162;
byte[] recvbBuf = new byte[recvBufSize];
//stores the nick
byte[] nickBuf = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(nick);
//Stores the room join
byte[] joinBuf = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(join);
Socket conn = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
conn.Connect(ip, port);
conn.Send(nickBuf, nickBuf.Length, SocketFlags.None);
conn.Send(joinBuf, joinBuf.Length, SocketFlags.None);
for(;;){
byte[] buffer = new byte[3000];
int rec = conn.Receive(buffer, 0, buffer.Length, 0);
Array.Resize(ref buffer, rec);
Console.WriteLine(Encoding.Default.GetString(buffer));

I don't see you send any authentication to the server in your code.
Probably you can look at the irc sample here:
