I'm looking at the K-Menu and see KSirc IRC Client. I start the app. From the Connections menu I select New Server. In the Server/QuickConnect box I type webchat.freenode.net. A window opens saying "Connectiong to webchat.freenode.net port 6667..." Then "Can't connect to host: Connection refused" repeatedly. What next? Darrell
