Connection problems with irclib

[Dropkick Punt]

Hi. I've written a bot in python, using the irclib by Joel Rosdahl.

Works fine from my linux box at home, but when I upload it to my shell at
veritynet.net, can't seem to get it to connect to an irc server.

It doesn't report any errors.

Anyone have any idea how I might go about at least diagnosing the problem?
Any suggestions might help.

Thanks in advance.
