SharePoint Authentication using Webclient

I'm a rookie in C# & .NET and currently developing a Broken Links Tool for a pretty big company. The main point in the application is checking there Intranet SharePoint sites.

A few weeks ago I made a proof of concept. I used a WebRequest to get the status of a current page and set the credentials with

   httpReq.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;

Nowadays I have to use a WebClient for the connection and in the same way it doesn't work anymore.

I also tried 

Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials,

and

Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(username,password, "domain"),

as well

webclient.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

Why it doesn't work with the webclient?

Is your certificate valid? In any case, add:

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate { return true; }
