For no reason, I have been getting this error message for a week or so;

PM> Install-Package Elmah Install-Package : The remote name could not be resolved: 'packages.nuget.org' At line:1 char:16 + Install-Package <<<< Elmah + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Install-Package], WebException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Net.WebException,NuGet.PowerShell.Commands.InstallPackageCommand

when I navigate to the link in my browser, I see the proper ODATA Nuget Feed.

Checked the feed's fwlink url, it works fine on the browser as well;

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=206669

I tried the Manage Nuget Packages dialog box, the same error there.

BTW, my internal nuget servers works fine.

Can u help me on this? what blocks me to get to packages.nuget.org?

Make sure that you update to NuGet 1.4. I had a similar error while using 1.0 and updated worked for me.
