Hi David, Thank a lot for your help.
I know that there is lot of fiddling around with the NBMs, but for that you must be very comfortable how the update process works and the NBMs contents. What I finally did, was to install NB on a non restricted computer and copied over the required items from the user dir, update center, config of modules, jars, etc to make NB believe, that I managed to download it. A bit of a mess as well. The problem within a corporate environment is to white-list all the required sites and this is extremely difficult when you get redirected to various proxies.
