Original title: Live Mail Problem

Windows Live Mail will not recognise that I am on line.  I get a message box that states that I am off line and do I want to go online.  When I click the yes box, nothing happens.  When I click the go online box at the top nothing happens.  When I click the send/receive mail box, a message box comes up and states that the task was cancelled.  The error box is blank.  When checking  options <connections it states that I am connected.  I have uninstalled the program and downloaded a new one from Microsoft but have the same problem with the new one.
