ENC26J60 internet issues. Connection failed

Projects Programming
1

Using the GitHub - turicas/Ethernet_ENC28J60: [NOT MAINTAINED, NOT COMPLETED] Implementation of an Arduino-compatible socket layer library that uses Microchip ENC28J60 Ethernet controller. library which is based alot on the official Ethernet library. Ive been trying to connect the arduino to Quakenet IRC server. Or anything at all really. I can't get it to connect to anything on the internet. If i load it with a ping responder or function as a telnet server it does as intended. but when i try to run the program below it never gets past the if client.connect() statement.

Any suggestions?

#include <Server.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <Client.h>
#include <SPI.h>

byte mac[] = { 
  0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
byte ip[] = { 
  10, 82, 15, 70 };
byte server[] = { 
  83, 140, 172, 211 };
byte gateway[] = { 
  10, 82, 15, 1 };
byte subnet[] = { 
  255, 255, 255, 0 };

Client client(server,6667);

void setup() {
  Ethernet.begin(mac,ip,gateway,subnet);
  Serial.begin(9600);


  Serial.println();
  delay(2000);
  if (client.connect()) {
    Serial.println("Connection established");
  } 
  else {
    Serial.println("Connection failed");
  }
}

void loop() {

  if (client.available()) {
    char c = client.read();
    Serial.print(c);
  }

  if (!client.connected()) {
    Serial.println();
    Serial.println("Disconnecting from server");
    client.stop();
    while(true){
    }
  }
}
