Can anybody having idea about the resoulution

You can't connect to the port on the host you specified, and after a timeout it simply fails. Are you sure you can reach the URL? You can try with a regular browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox.

Thruogh the browser I can get the page but with code I even not get connected to that URL.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks

Is the browser possibly configured to go through a proxy?

yes

Don't fret; here's how to connect through a proxy.

That link is obviously a bit older, since it is missing one option introduced in Java 5.0: use java.net.Proxy. URL has overloaded the openConnection method to take a Proxy object as well.
