Can't use Grails despite correct paths

I'm trying to set up Grails at my computer at work running Windows 10 and I'm unable to do so. I've downloaded the latest version from the website (3.3.8), added a GRAILS_HOME variable to my account pointing to the unzipped Grails directory and added the path to its bin subdirectory to the system Path and while grails -v works and outputs the version of Grails, Gradle and Java correctly, basically no other command does.

When I try to create some sample app with grails create-app someApp, I get | Error Error initializing classpath: services.gradle.org and a trace like this:

| Resolving Dependencies. Please wait...
Downloading https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.5-bin.zip

| Error Error initializing classpath: services.gradle.org

Similarly, when I try to download a project (like the one generated from start.grails.org) and just run it locally with grailsw run-app, I get:

        at grails.init.Start.main(Start.java:83)

Even a simple help command doesn't work cause grails -help outputs | Error Error occurred running Grails CLI: repo.grails.org

What may be the reason for this? Is the corporate firewall blocking something? How may I make this work?

You mention a corporate proxy; you can set your proxy in gradle.properties as such:

systemProp.https.proxyHost=<your proxy>
systemProp.https.proxyPort=<your port>
systemProp.http.proxyHost=<probably same>
systemProp.http.proxyPort=<probably same>
systemProp.http.nonProxyHosts:<optional.  comma-separated.  probably at least want localhost in there: *.domain.com,localhost>
