As a continuation of the thread [Previous link—same question but on windows PC](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/downloading-packages-fails-on-work-network/30700) I can’t manage to get packages to download on my server. I see the following:

> (v1.2) pkg\> add Plots  
> Resolving package versions…  
> ERROR: Error when installing package Requires:  
> IOError(Base.IOError(“connect: connection refused (ECONNREFUSED)”, -111) during request([https://pkg.juliacomputing.com//package/ae029012-a4dd-5104-9daa-d747884805df/999513b7dea8ac17359ed50ae8ea089e4464e35e.tar.gz](https://pkg.juliacomputing.com//package/ae029012-a4dd-5104-9daa-d747884805df/999513b7dea8ac17359ed50ae8ea089e4464e35e.tar.gz)))

Can someone help me diagnose what the specific problem is? I am on a windows PC (on my local work network) and I connect to my Debian based work server (via windows remote desktop connection) and get this error. On my personal work PC, I initially had the same issue (see above thread) on my local windows PC but after some update (I am not sure which), it automatically started working. Any leads?
