If we try to connect via the data source manager, a dialog appears with the information, that the host cannot be found. The url of the service is not the problem because it is inserted via a plugin, i.e. all users using the same url. And for all other users it works perfectly. We copied the url from QGIS into the browser and we can get the capabilities. The same url works without problems in other software (Smallworld, GSA, WindPro). The proxy in QGIS is correct. If I remove the proxy settings we get another error message according to the proxy. The parameters for the proxy are the same for all users and also inserted via a plugin to avoid typing errors or something. It is not a problem of a different IP segment or something because only QGIS has this problem and we are not able to reproduce it with other users.

It's unlikely, but there is only one thing I can think of: if the
user's QGIS uses a different QT version then his colleagues he might
be hitting this bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-76821
