Hello @Prakash_Kr,
and welcome to KNIME Community!
How did you try to install Continental extension? Do you have KNIME Community Extensions (Trusted) update site activated?
See here for Continental installation instructions:
And see here more about (external) KNIME update sites:

Hi @ipazin,
Thanks for replying on this.
KNIME Community Extensions (Trusted)* update site is activated for me. Do i need to do anything else? If possible can we connect so you can guide me on this?
Thank you

Hello @Prakash_Kr,
if you are behind a firewall then you should configure proxy. See here:
Also there is possibility to install extensions from Local Update Sites:

I have the same issue, does it have to do with firewall? or something preventing connection to the server?
Hello @B074534,
also Continental related? And do you get this error after clicking File --> Install KNIME Extensions... or in some other moment?
As mentioned above this can be due to firewall in which case check linked FAQ or install from local update sites.

Thank you Ivan, yes I checked with the firewall team and they sort it!
