You mentioned you could get to those sites, but not whether you could get there with IE. IE obeys the proxy settings, like calibre. Other browsers may not, which might allow them to reach those sites, but not IE. Hence the question specifically about IE.
AFAIK, in the Windows environment calibre does nothing different from IE. There are several threads here about proxy problems, but I can't immediately recall any that match a Windows OS where IE works, but calibre does not. Sorry I can't help more, but if no one else pops in to comment, I'd search those proxy threads here and also see if any other programs ping, traceroute, other browsers etc. can match the calibre symptoms.
