Do you have internet connectivity on your machine? Is there a firewall? from the error, it seems the program cannot reach our servers to authenticate your AccessKey.

Oh, right! My company does blocking of certain sites, and you must have been caught up in that. Didn't realise that's what this was.

I'd recommend a specific human-readable error message in this case so people like me can self service this error. Sorry for the noise!
