Sounds like your update center isn’t able to properly talk to [updates.jenkins.io](http://updates.jenkins.io) (or whatever you have configured). My guess is either your proxy is configured wrong, or not configured.
When you look at the advanced tab of your plugins page does it have things setup right?
