Irssi won't connect to Freenode

Hello,
Does anyone know why irssi won't connect to freenode (I am in the process of configuring it and username has been set).

Code:

15:09 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.freenode.net
15:09 -!- Irssi: Connecting to irc.freenode.net [xx.xx.xx.xx.] port 6667
15:12 -!- Irssi: Unable to connect server irc.freenode.net port 6667
             [Connection timed out]

My network connection seems fine. I have not any issues at all with ethernet/wireless so I am not sure what is causing this. Irssi worked fine on fedora before switching to arch.

Thank you!

Update: http://pastebin.com/3QscgBEm --> my config file for irssi. The web interface for freenode works fine.

I installed and tried with xchat, and this did not work either (tried fiddling with connection settings - changing port number for freenode server (6667, 8001). It does seem like a network issue, but I am not sure what it is. Like I said, it has worked previously.
