This is due to network configuration issue.
Make sure that any Anti-Virus or Firewalls installed on the system are not blocking anything in the MATLAB installation directory.
If the network setting uses HTTP proxy, modify the network configuration to add an HTTP proxy exception.
In Windows, you can do this by : Going to Control Panel -> Network settings -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings -> turned ON "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" with "Use a proxy server for your LAN".
