Using .NET API, getting Unable to Connect to Remote Server error

Hello,

 

We have finished a solution that uses the .NET API that you provide. When working on a system outside of our main network, I was able to get everything working as expected. However, when I tried to test the code inside of our main network, I received an "Unable to Connect to Remote Server" error on the first line that tries to use an API call.

 

I read another post with the same problem, and tested the method of going to the following URL to make sure that I could connect properly and I could:

 

https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/your-username/contacts

 

Unforunately I didn't see a resolution to the issue on that thread. Here is the link to that page:

 

http://community.constantcontact.com/t5/Developer-Support-ask-questions/No-connection-could-be-made/m-p/42079/highlight/true#M4333 

 

If you can point me in the direction so that we can clear this seemingly last hurdle I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

Sorry you're having difficulty reaching us.  Can you open a command line and run a traceroute to api.constantcontact.com?  A trace route should show where the connection is failing.

Hi Shannon,

 

Thanks for your prompt response. I think that the problem is on our end due to our firewall settings and we're working to try and resolve it. Here is the traceroute just in case:
