[CentOS] can't access irc server on xen domU, please help

[rudiahlers at gmail.com]

Just an update on this, when I add x.x.136.105 to the domU, and ran
nmap on that IP, the IRC ports are open, so that confirms my "theory"
- this is then a routing issue between the dom0 & domU, right? But how
do I fix it?
