The server you may be trying to connect to might be down. Try connecting to irc.SummitIRC.com port 6667

You can also try a java applet here that should work: http://www.avpod.net/livechat.html

Let me know if these dont work.

Same thing, it means the server you are trying to connect to is refusing connections. Try another server on that network.

check the DNS settings for your connection (be it dial-up, ethernet, whatever) and make sure you can contact the servers listed (a simple ping should suffice)

Also make sure your anti-virus software or firewall is not blocking that port.

This is a dead giveaway that its a DNS error, so that would be the first thing I check
