Yes, it looks like it cannot sync.
MultiBit HD need ports 8333 open so that it can connect to the Bitcoin network.

If you have that port blocked or a firewall is blocking it then you won't be able to connect.

Also, rarely, if you have a bitcoind running locally and have some fancy port forwarding rules that can do the same.

Networking/ firewalls depends very much on your operating system and your local network setup.
