Sounds DNS related. Along with the hw involved, describe how you're connected to the internet..

Make sure you read and apply this as well.

Wild guess here boof.

The download mechanism is hard coded to ipv4. It may be that your ISP is assigning an ipv6 address and therefore PPM is failing. Try the attached.
