You need to know which IP Solidworks is calling, using eg Sysinternals TCPView
Then insert them into the hosts file, done

So I used the TCPView program and found out that sldworks.exe calls 

a23-7-198-238.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com

and

 

168-75-151-48.navisite.com

.

 

Thanks for the help @neofita :cheers:
