    There can be more reasons for this:
    Group policies in your network
    not enough rights local
    corrupted IE installation

    can you try to download with Google Chrome?

  This tip above to enable file downloads worked for me. Thank you! I don’t know what other factors might be in play, but I also had previously unchecked “Enable Protected Mode” in the Internet zone on the Security tab. I had also added the site as a Trusted Site on the Security tab (I had to uncheck “Require server verification” in order for it to let me add the “http:” site).

  Yes, add the website to Trusted Sites. It eliminated the error for me an allowed the download.

  My setting was also “Enable” by default, but I changed that to disable and enabled it again, then this worked.
  I guess the setting glitch?

  Anyway this article saved me, thanks!

  Setting no to downloads – rebooting and setting yes to downloads worked for me as well. Thanks!

  Hi,
  Please we are facing the same error from our RDP/RDS server on Win2012r. During the download of an Email attachment on Exchange 365, the download failed with the message:

  “Failed – Network Error”

  Can we ask for your assistance ?

    Hi Placide,

    This error means there is something not right with the network.
    I’m not able to support this.
    Contact your administrator, for network related errors.
