I'm trying to run VS 2013 Premium (Update 4) on a Windows Server 2008 R2.

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: 

We are unable to download content due to network issues

on the start page. And via NuGet I get this error:

Unable to connect to the remote server

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: Cannot connect to any online resource

Only when I try to connect to the Visual Studio Gallery I get a different message:

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it <ip>

The internal browser of VS is working. IE8 is working as well.

Edit: I solved the problem due to adding a different proxy server. Now it's working!

Do the following:

  1. Uninstall NuGet
  2. Restart Visual Studio
  3. Install Nuget

You are set to go.

  • As I said I can't access the VS Gallery to reinstall it. I tried the earlier. – Zumarta Nov 26 '15 at 10:02
  • @Zumarta You can't access Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Nuget Package Manager? – Thanos Markou Nov 26 '15 at 10:05
  • I can access the installed tools, but when I uninstall it and want to reinstall it via the Online gallery, I can't access the gallery. – Zumarta Nov 26 '15 at 10:22
  • Really strange! Is the server accessing the Internet behind a proxy? – Thanos Markou Nov 26 '15 at 10:27
  • I guess it is, the LAN settings were detected automatically. Unfortunately I don't have further details about the proxy, otherwise I've tried to add the proxy URL into the config file to connect to. – Zumarta Nov 26 '15 at 10:30

Another problem with NuGet could be solved through adding the proxy settings directly to the NuGet config file. Now it's really working fine for me.
