If you are running your request behind a proxy in that case you need to supply the credentials to the request.

Perhaps you have to use NetworkCredentials...

WebClient wc = new WebClient();
NetworkCredential nc = new NetworkCredential("alex", "mypassword");
wc.Credentials = nc;
byte[] response = wc.DownloadData("http://www.java2s.com/index.htm");
