You shouldn't need to forward any ports to use IRC. Port forwarding is handy when you want to enable IDENT or DCC ports. Maybe the server you want to requires IDENT. If so just forward port 113 to the IP address of the machine you are using. To do this of course you need to be running static IP's on your network.

Connection refused generally means the server you are trying to connect to is down.
