See if you can connect to the WormNET IRC server. Do the following:
Open a command prompt (Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt) and type:
telnet wormnet1.team17.com 6667
You should either get a blank screen or error message.
If you get a blank screen, that's not the problem (your IRC port isn't blocked). If you get an error message, then something is blocking it, for example a software firewall or your ISP.

I think this should be added to the Troubleshooting FAQ (http://worms2d.info/Troubleshooting_FAQ) page.

It's not there purposefully because it is only the first step in diagnosing the problem, the cause of which can be very varied.
