I have having problems linking my Online ID to my Windows 7 computer.  I am fully connected to the internet and I can access my ID from the online side, but I can't get it to link to my Windows 7 computer.  My ID is linked to my windows 8 computer, so I don't think my ID is the issue either.

Here is what is happening:

Link Online IDs issue:

Start -> in the search for programs type: "Link online IDs"

Under the Online Provider heading I see a Windows Live ID area with a link "Link online ID"

I select this and a Windows Live Sign In dialog appears, I enter credentials

I receive the following:

"The network location cannot be reached.  For information about network troubleshooting, she Windows Help. (0x80048265)

I have no idea how to solve this.  I have been searching on the web trying to find a solution and I haven't found anything. 

Thank you!
