Do you even get it to connect and if not what error do you get. You can see the error by right clicking the little IRC circle and then selecting show status window. Post this here and might get alot further.
In the mean time you might want to check if the following ports are open on your router (i assume your router is a firewall as well). The "standard" is 6667, but other common ones are 6665, 6666, and 7000. You can set the port when you're setting up the connection (right click irc icon and select manage my connections..there you see the port selected).
