If you are using a proxy, you should configure your app.config file like this:

<system.net>
    <defaultProxy>
        <proxy usessystemdefault="False" 
            proxyaddress="http://your-proxy-name.domain.com:port-number-if-any"
            bypassonlocal="True"
            autoDetect="False" />
   </defaultProxy> 
</system.net>
