Unable to connect to IRC server

[ylq2250]

I have downloaded and  installed the HydraIRC client,but when i try to make a connection to the chat server,there is an error on the mai screen which tell the flow error information:

[13:38] *** Connecting to "irc.codehaus.org:6667" (Attempt 16 of 110)

[13:38] *** Resolving host name

[13:38] *** Connecting to 63.246.24.165:6667

[13:38] *** Socket Error (10060: Attempt to connect timed out without establishing a connection)

[13:38] *** Unable to connect to IRC server

[13:38] *** Disconnected (2011-09-21 13:38:32)

[13:38] *** Connect attempt 16 of 110 failed, delaying retry for 300 seconds (Click "Disconnect" to cancel)

why?is there anything else that i need to config or i did something wrong while connect to the server??

Firewall issues maybe? I'm using XChat with the exact same parameters as you and it works perfectly.

Try doing "telnet irc.codehaus.org 6667" to see if you can establish a connection to the host.

Thanks Esteban

i try to telnet the resources,but get the follow errors:

C:\Users\ylq2250>telnet irc.codehaus.org 6667

正在连接irc.codehaus.org...无法打开到主机的连接。 在端口 6667: 连接失败

i didn`t install any Firewall software,is there anyother aspect  causes this issue? or the chat server port is not the 6667?
