Hi Jack, I think you may be on the right track. I experienced a similar issue after installing Norton Internet Security a year or two ago, since Norton's firewall was preventing mvn and mvn.bat from contacting the central repo. Usually Norton prompts you when it blocks a program, but it didn't in this case for me, which made it surprisingly difficult to figure out. I needed to go into the Norton settings and unblock maven.
In addition, if you're running Windows Vista, you might want to go into the Vista firewall settings and see if the solution is in there. Like Norton, Windows Vista's firewall normally asks you if you want to block or allow a program's communication when it first occurs, but it doesn't always do this.
