You need the ip_masq_irc.o module.
ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ipv4 |grep irc
if it is not there, add it to the modules list and rebuild your kernel modules.
IIRC, you have to load it manually. I used to load mine from
/etc/rc.d/rc.local

This is a thornier problem. The initial syn packets that netscape sends
to make the connection never get sent so netscape has to wait for a
timeout before attempting again. Unfortunately, it sounds like it never
does. bug? There are few things you can do.
make sure diald buffers packets
read the kernel documentation on dynamic ip addresses and follow them
I have had good luck with
echo 5 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
If you are running a redhat system, edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/network
