I just bought and installed MATLAB R2016b, I am trying to open Simulink but I keep getting this message: Failed to load URL https://lo​calhost:61​415/toolbo​x/simulink​/sltemplat​e/web/Gall​eryView/ga​llery.html​?channel=/​sltemplate​/GalleryVi​ew/All/&vi​ewType

Can anybody help me figuring out what went wrong while I trying to open simulink I got this message? Failed to load URL https://localhost:61415/toolbox/simulink/sltemplate/web/GalleryView/gallery.html?channel=/sltemplate/GalleryView/All/&viewType=All&startPage=true&snc=1732CF with error (-7).

This might be a firewall issue. If you are using MS Windows you might need to tell Windows Firewall to allow MATLAB access.

Why does matlab need to use the internet to open a file? That's pretty ridiculous.

Should I wait to upgrade until mathworks fixes this bug, because half the time I have to work on a network without internet connection???

[Walter Roberson]

Firewalls can affect TCP connections between processes on the same machine.

On OS-X at least, invoking simulink opens a new application called MATLABWindow with TCP connection to MATLAB; the application is the Simulink graphics interface.

Try checking your Internet Options in the Control Panel and setting an exception:

Internet Options --> Connections --> LAN-Settings --> Advanced -> Exceptions (add localhost)
