Hi ashrafkotb 

I'd expect your internet security/anti-virus/anti-malware to be intercepting and checking HTTP traffic and they often insert their own self signed SSL certificates.  If PBI doesn't like this it may throw an error.  Try turning off the security software just to test.  You may need to configure the security software firewall to ignore connections from local sources and/or to port 5000 on your PC.
