are you behind a firewall or proxy server of some sort? it sometimes takes a bit of work to make an irc connection through one...

look for a program called http tunnel, it can route certain ports through your http port, therefor bypassing a firewall. just set it up so ports 6665, 6666, 6667, 6668, and 6669 go through the http port and then you should be able to connect.
