I just tried this and it worked. You can try going into your data sources, File | Options | Data source settings and clearing the permissions. Then try reconnecting and using Anonymous permissions, that's what I used.

 

I am on the April release of the Desktop, 64-bit, English language.

      I just tested. And it works properly. Can you access the web page in your browser?

       

       

      Please update your Power BI Desktop in to latest version and try again.

       

      Regards,

        Hi!

         

        Yes, I can access the web page in the browser. I said in the original message that my coworkers (who have similar credentials to mine) don't have problems in connection. I'm gonna try update the software talking with an IT guy cause I don't hve administrator permissions.

         

        By the way, and as I said previously, software spend a long time in this and after that, "connection time exeeded"
