Hi, I have a brand-new fresh debian squeeze installation, with my account being a normal user (sudoable) -- on a headless system.
Somehow I couldn't connect to any IRC channel by using irssi. IRSSI would spit out: Irssi: Unable to connect server irc.freenode.net port 6667 [Cannot assign requested address: 208.69.36.132] for any IRC channel I try to connect to. Sudoing solves the problem. So I know I have some kind of permission related issue here but I don't know how to fix it. I could ping. Just that irc is blocked.
