Installing one specific package using npm or yarn results on a socket timeout

npm install @mui/icons-material

I can install all other libraries with no issues, I have reached out to the networking team and they claim to have nothing in place regarding the npm repository.

I have tried multiple boxes to install the library, all the Linux boxes are encountering the error while all windows based machines can install it.

I have tried spinning up a brand new no base rhel image and installed npm and nodejs. Same issue occurred.

Networking team and midrange team are either being lazy, or really don't know where to start.

There is no proxy. Base npm settings work installing all other libraries

This answer ended up being on the networking side. The firewall had a threshold limit for Palo Alto's packet lengths. The default limit is set for 4096 'loops' but in this case the library itself was over 20,000 individual items.

Once I was able to narrow down the issue, I engaged the networking team to change the upper threshold. Issue has been resolved.
