[cgiirc-general] Connection timed out - Everything tried, nothing worked - please help me

[Eugen <eug...@gm...>]

Hi everybody :)

I've just installed CGI IRC the first time and well, I've got problems.
Maybe you are able to help me, as there wasn't anyone available in the chat
when I was online.

I've got everything uploaded and chmoded. The config file points to a
quakenet server and everything is fine.

But when I load the page http://n.eugenmaier.com/cgi-local/irc.cgi it gives
me the following error

"*** Welcome to CGI:IRC 0.5.4 (2004/01/29)

*** Looking up irc.quakenet.org

*** Connecting to irc.quakenet.org [62.73.33.48] port 6667

*** An error occured: Connecting to IRC: Connection timed out (60 seconds)"

For this reason I've called my host to do this mod_gzip_item_exclude file
nph-.*\.cgi$

What else should I try to get this running?

If anyone has got some time - I give you a ftp access to my website if you
are able to help me! 

Any advice would be great and I thank you in advance for that.

Greets to all of you,
Eugen
