Slight correction Konversation, NOT Kopete: Troubles getting on IRC now

[Praedor Atrebates]

I had been connecting to the irc.freenode.org server but recently, while 
running tor I am no longer allowed to connect even though I am not trying to 
connect anonymously with tor.  I know there are a couple hidden service 
versions for freenode but neither of them work for me either.  I enter their 
*.onion address and my client (Konversation, KDE 4.1.3, Mandriva linux) SEES 
them but it never actually succeeds in connecting.  I get:
[...]
What is it about running tor, even as a relay, that prevents me from 
connecting at all to freenode?  I can connect to undernet but it doesn't have 
the chat rooms I seek/need.
