Answer 1

See if you have a proxy configured in your Internet Explorer settings (Tools - Internet Options - Connections - LAN Settings). Make sure you got Automatically detect settings checked.

Answer 2

Maybe you have automatic configuration of proxy enabled in your Internet Explorer? Since you don't specificially set the proxy settings of your WebClient object, it looks at Internet explorer settings.
