I'm pretty sure IRC systems have multiple servers to shuffle their users between in case of issues with any one given server. It is possible that the network has been having problems, but I tried the link in the site banner just now and it worked fine. I'd recommend trying again and seeing what Mibbit tells you about why you can't connect, if anything. There's usually some parenthesied factoid, even if it's just (Ping: timeout 187s) or some such.
The possibility that comes to mind most readily from the information you've provided is that some firewall or security program is blocking the incoming connection. It happens from time to time, and wouldn't necessarily happen the first time you went to the site, depending on what it thinks it should be blocking. Worth looking into, if no other obvious problems or solutions present themselves first.
