    irc: connection actively refused

    Good day,
    I`m running openSuse 11.1 on an Acer laptop.

    I`m trying to use the IRC systems but keep getting "connection actively refused". I`ve tried both XChat and Konversation/KDE3 and various irc nodes but its the same. Internet access etc is ok so I`m getting through ok, and the firewall is set to relay in the relevant ports.

    Any ideas ?

    Many thanks...

    You are not running it as root, I hope?
