Please check the output from this command:
sockstat -l | grep :6667
It will tell you if the daemon is listening on localhost
only or on all interfaces. This will narrow done the
cause of the problem: If the daemon listens on localhost,
then it's a configuration problem with that daemon.
If it listens on all interfaces ("*"), then the problem
is somewhere else, e.g. a packet filter (on the server or
client side, or somewhere between), or maybe a typo when
starting the client (wrong port number or address).
Best regards
