try this simple task:
tracert repo1.maven.org
someone has inserted an intervening proxy between you and maven.org
go to $M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml and configure access to maven.ord thru this
proxy (which should look something like)
<!-- proxies
| This is a list of proxies which can be used on this machine to connect to
the network.
| Unless otherwise specified (by system property or command-line switch),
the first proxy
| specification in this list marked as active will be used.
|-->
<proxies>
<!-- proxy
| Specification for one proxy, to be used in connecting to the network.

<proxy>
<id>optional</id>
<active>true</active>
<protocol>http</protocol>
<username>proxyuser</username>
<password>proxypass</password>
<host>proxy.host.net</host>
<port>80</port>
<nonProxyHosts>local.net,some.host.com</nonProxyHosts>
</proxy>
-->
</proxies>
