eclipse networking update-site

I have installed Eclipse 3,6 on 64 bit Windows platform. When I try to connect to update sites by going to Help->install new software it gives following error:

Unable to connect to repository 
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/content.xml
Connection refused: connect

I have tried all available sites - they all give me the same error. Dialog box shows: Provision exception.

Any idea what's happening?

  1. In Eclipse (go to Window > Preferences > General > Network connections).
  2. Select "Active Provider" as "Manual".
  3. Select HTTP and click edit.
  4. Enter the host and port
  5. Select "Requires Authentication" and enter the username and password.

  6. Repeat Step 1 to 5 for Https.

  7. In "proxy bypass" section click "Add host"

  8. Enter http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/content.xml and OK

After spending an entire week with the issue, this solution finally worked for me
