title: Visual Studio cannot connect to any online ressource
body: <p>I'm trying to run VS 2013 Premium (Update 4) on a Windows Server 2008 R2.</p>
  
  <p>The problem I have is, that I can't connect to any ressource in the internet.
  It doesn't matter wheater I try to see the news on the Start Page or trying to accessing the Extension Gallery or the NuGet Packages, I just always get an error like: </p>
  
  <pre><code>We are unable to download content due to network issues
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>on the start page. And via NuGet I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Unable to connect to the remote server
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried to add the config lines to the devenv.exe.config but I didn't work for me. I added the tags mentioned here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2859148/cannot-connect-to-any-online-resource">Cannot connect to any online resource</a></p>
  
  <p>Only when I try to connect to the Visual Studio Gallery I get a different message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it &lt;ip&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The internal browser of VS is working. IE8 is working as well.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I solved the problem due to adding a different proxy server. Now it's working! </p>
