Hi,

yepp, we solved that problem as duket8pe said.
But to ensure, it will work please mention this:

If you have a firewall, please try connecting without it.
Perhaps you could also try another irc-server to login.
This one works fine for me : irc.de.quakenet.eu.org
This one actually does not : irc.quakenet.org
Also you can try another Port (not the default 6667) like 6670 or s.th. like that.
