Problem connecting to server with ArcGIS for AutoCAD

I just installed ArcGIS for AutoCAD, two server connections were automatically created. One is for ArcGIS Online and one is to our local server containing our services (not sure how the install identified this server).

The ArcGIS Online connection works fine for adding a service but the local connection fails with the message “Populating connection failed”. The server connection is seeing the server, I can tell because when I select it there is a dialog “Reading Service Details” and I can see it read our local service folders but then it fails.

The local connection is http://uswiw040:6080/arcgis/services. I do not know what credentials are being used since the connection was created by the install and I can’t figure out how to view the connection properties. Note, there is also a red “X” on the connection icon in the “Add Services” dialog.

I tried creating a new server connection http://uswiw040/arcgis/services without providing credentials and providing admin credentials, both failed with “Error connecting to server”.

I am on AutoCAD 2015 64 bit. Any help on configuring a local connection properly will be greatly appreciated.
