You connection attempt over the internet can't work by the way - you have to use your external IP and not the internal one (plus forward the port to the correct IP).
If you don't make mistakes, you aren't really trying. - Coleman Hawkins
Maybe you are trying to connect to a SSL port? You can only connect to an SSL port with a SSL capable client (well, more or less) and if you indicate to the client it's an SSL port.
If it's your first time, try simply connecting to a non-SSL port (6667?) :p
No, I think its not because of firewall. If firewall cause a problems, the error message should be: Connection reset by peer or maybe Unable to connect to server (Connection refused)
Its maybe because of unrealircd.conf configuration files or maybe IRCD.

wrong, a firewall blocking it will result in a 'connection timed out', i agree more with the guy banned himself or is using a ssl port with a non-ssl capable client.
A banned user will get an error from the server saying they are glined/klined etc. A firewall will give a connection timeout error. I will agree with syzop, looks like a non-ssl client on an SSL port.
Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
