    Are you able to connect via telnet? it may be a tranative error at the server side, or there could be something blocking your connection in between. Either way, it's not really a programming question, but more of a support issue, and seems a little off topic for this website. – Rowland Shaw Jan 06 '11 at 12:47

If you are using a proxy, it could be that you have not set the proxy environment variable. 

 set http_proxy=http://myproxyserver.mydomain.com:5050

See their PPM Documenation

Install Fiddler Web Debugger (www.fiddler2.com), launch it, start a web browser (for Fiddle to detect settings), then relaunch PPM.

Fiddler will work as the proxy and resolve the requests properly. I didn't even need to add the "http_proxy" environment setting that is recommended by ActiveState, but you may need to, so from a command prompt type: set http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8888 then from this same command prompt type PPM to launch the PPM
