I am trying to create a Map Chart but I am unable to connect to Bing maps to download the map data. Where is the setting to allow Excel to connect to Bing through the internet?

Communication with bing maps engine is performed in background, you can't connect bing maps directly.
- we define table with the data for Map Charts
- insert Map Chart for that source data
- it sends source data on Microsoft servers, receives back some data to build map and shows it to user.

If you are in business environment that's better to escalate to your IT. That could be security policy, proxy server settings, antivirus software, whatever.
