Could someone please help me? For some reason, I can't connect to any irc server. Could it be that my college blocked irc?

This is what it shows whenever I try to connect to any server.
* Connecting to irc.rizon.net (6668)
-
* Identd request from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
* Identd replied: 1477, 6668 : USERID : UNIX : ident

(And then after a couple of minutes)

* [10053] Software caused connection abort
-
* Disconnected

Please help!
