Reboot, tap f8 at startup and when you reach the Windows Advanced Boot Options, go into Safe Mode with Networking. From there check that a proxy server hasn't been set.
Open Internet Explorer go to: Tools > Internet Options > Connections Tab > LAN settings > Uncheck "use a proxy server" > click OK > Apply > OK, then close and restart Internet Explorer.
Then try to download aswMBR.0
