Those ports are probably blocked by your university. There is not much you can do about that.

If your in the UK, try using ports 6666 or 6668 for irc, as the notorious port for irc is 6667. Works for me =)

Odd, MSN usually bypasses most blockings as it trys various ports until it gets a connection.
